Synthetic is DOT5? huh? Is it that bad that companies just put anything
on the bottle just to sell it? [scratches ones head, and thinks geez, well maybe] I bought the Prestone Synthetic Dot 4, but it reads will work perfect with all dot 3 and dot 4. I bought it because it will work at the highest temperature (500F), and it gets so damn hot here and humit that I figured it maybe a good idea to get it. It's clear like water. |
