Stock factory 93. Thirty years old. 120k on the clock. Who knows what the the PO's did or didn't do to the brake system. Cheap shocks and rotors confirmed. Wasted lower control arm bushings and way screwy caster alignment attempt confirmed. Otherwise babied creampuff showing typical 30 yr old ailments.

Can I purge the brake system with a DOT5 transfusion or will any caliper/master/abs/pressure seals go AWOL on me? Who's done it? What happened?

 

We all have thirty year old + cars. Not a big a deal.

Mine has been a Northwest daily driver since it was a 17 year old car and has far more miles than yours. It has had it's quirks over the years but doesn't presently have whatever you assume are 30 year old ailments.

IMO, you should not use Dot5 synthetic and exactly why would you want to? Do the brakes not work right now? By all means replace the brake fluid if it needs it but stick to recommended fluid.
