Since upgrading my suspension tailgaters on the track have noticed that my blinker fluid is more active.

A few questions for the experts here:

1. Should I increase the viscosity of the blinker fluid to counteract the extra G-forces that are now evident?

2. Is there an additive I can add to avoid excessive blinker fluid slosh?

3. Should I go synthetic or stay with dyno blinker fluid?

did you also upgrade to xenon headlight fluid? cause from the factory, it only came with halogen headlight fluid. xenon is better than halogen.

I have been running my headlights dry for some time now without any adverse effect.

You definitely want a thinner blinker fluid in the winter time for proper blink frequency. Too thick of a fluid will cause longer blink frequency.

I am a fan of the synthetic blinker fluid, but don't know of any cures for fluid slosh other than keeping it topped off (blinker fluid tends to seep through seals slowly, causing the reservoir to get low)

DONT! DONT! DONT! use synthetic blinker fluid if you have been using dino blinker fluid all along. My friend did that and now his blinkers leak like crazy. I guess the synthetic fluid cleans out all the seals and causes leaks.

I also heard that the govmint banned the blinker fluid with the zinc stuff that older blinkers need.

the best stuff is taken from live fireflies for extra brightness!!! Also good for the environment

I'm not sure how to dispose of used blinker fluid. My trash pickup took my used motor oil, but not the blinker fluid I left at the curb.

is it safe to run seafoam through my blinker system? my blinker fluid came out very dirty at the last change.

My right high beam won't come on I aleady checked the bulb and the fuse, possibly needs a top up of high beam fluid? I like to use synthetic blinker fluid, I get more efficient blinking in cold weather.

Definately a no no. Ruins the blink ratio timing.

Could be that the fluid is too thick...what weight are you using?

krystar

no way. seafoam won't damage the blinker position sensor any. it might even clean some crud off the sensor tip.

By all means use synthetic blinker fluid in a modern car. If 20 years old or more, use conventional fluid to avoid leaks as posted above. When choosing a high performance fluid, be sure to find one with a European additive package. The EPA has forced fluid producers to reduce the amount of zipDdoodah in new products. While some may claim that the reduced concentration of ZDDH is insignificant, too many experts have shown evidence of premature wear of important components in the blinker system.

It best to just use the blinker fluid delete kit

re the xenon fluid - how cold would it have to be for xenon to be liquid?
