[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 15770128, member: 9628"] I flushed my 2008 GT500 brake system a couple of years ago and was planning on using Synthetic brake fluid, mainly because it does not attract moisture like the regular brake fluid, which rusts the brake system from the inside. When I researched the Synthetic, it was not recommended for ABS brake systems..........Have you found a Synthetic brake fluid that is acceptable/recommended for use in an ABS system? I don't know why Synthetic is not recommended for ABS systems, but I do know that there is a very large market with ABS, so the vendors must have a good reason to recommend against it? Also, at only 600 original miles, stored in an A/C environment since early 2009, and at only 6 years old, my original Ford installed brake fluid was already looking like "tea" instead of "pee". Even at that early age with so little miles, the system was already starting to rust..........that is why it looked like "tea". When it starts to look like "root beer", that is not good......
