    So, I'm at 104k km's, and figured the brake fluid could use a flush. Last time I did a brake job, with flush, the vehicle didn't have ABS. So, it was simple, crack the bleeder, pump the pedal to push out the old fluid, and keep the reservoir full to avoid air bubbles. This will be my first flush on a vehicle with ABS, so are there any different methods or things I should know about? And do I use DOT3 or DOT4 fluid?

    Okay, I think I can handle it. I still have to check the garage, to see what tools the old man left me. What about DOT3 or synthetic DOT4?
