[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16508221, member: 9628"] If you look at the sample I showed in the water bottle, there is no "flake" in that second picture, it is tiny micro particles and a "sludge", it is fine particles and sludge, it moves freely where ever the brake fluid flows. Unlike metal that is out in the open air and does "flake", the sealed brake system is not that environment. How would "dirt" get into the system, especially that much over time and especially in my case at 600 original miles and all the way back at the rear calipers with no leaks in the system? One explanation could be that the dirt comes in through the M/C cap vent.......but that would have to be a very dirty environment under the hood for all of that dirt to get into that tiny vent and into the system.. There are several "qualities" of stainless, 304, 316, etc., it all depends upon the quantity of rustable and non-rustable material in the stainless.......The lesser quality stainless may not rust with a "splash and dry" of water, but it will deteriorate with a constant exposure to moisture. <<<<Also to mention, this is a slow rust with fine particles, not a flaky rust like cheaper non-stainless metal. The higher the quality of stainless, the higher the cost, I can guarantee you that Ford (or any other normal auto maker) does not use the top quality stainless on the brake system of the vehicles they build, it would be too costly.
