Lockheed DOT 5 fluid
I just flushed my brake fluid and clutch on my 993 C2 1995.
Replaced it with Lockheed DOT 5 brake fluid!!
Is it OK?
Brake fluid has probably never been changed for the past 8 years!!! removed tons of sludge from the fluid box!!!

DOT 5 silicon fluid can cause damage to the brake system & should not be used in a 993 (or any other street car).
