I recently bled my brakes and used Pentosin Dot 4 LV (Low viscosity) instead of my usual Pentosin SuperDot 4. The difference in brake feel is much improved and the car doesn't suffer from the grabby brake feel that I and some others have noticed on the Macan. I've had the car almost 2 years and cannot remember the car coming to a stop as smoothly as with the new fluid. Previously, coming into my garage or rolling to a stop would always result in a final grab that would stop the car abruptly and very harshly. That seems to have gone away. Also jumping on the brake pedal doesnt result in unsettling the car as it did before.

When I did the bleed I kept and eye out for bubbles in the lines and there really wasn't much so I think the smoothness comes from this LV fluid.

YMMV but I thought I'd share since

This is very interesting…it would be great to hear some theories as to why the LV fluid produces this result. Sounds like a real improvement. Thanks for sharing.
