Dylan,

Castrol GT LMA Dot 4 Brake Fluid, is a fraction of the cost of the "LMA"
stand for "Low Moisture Absorption"... since it is lower in cost, you can
afford to really flush your system well, and frequently.  The standard
Vanagon braking system really doesn't benefit that greatly from the high
cost ATE Super Blue.  Just flush it good with the Castrol, and start with
the right rear, then the left rear, then the right front followed by the
left front.

Very smart move!
Try ATE Super Blue and alternate with gold so you can see the difference in
color while flushing.

Hey volks,

At one point did 'they' include brake fluid flushes in Preventative
Maintenance?

For some reason, I never heard tell of such a thing until just a few years
ago.
