Ok guys I have a 69 cutlass,front disk brakes. I just changed the brake booster and master cylinder. What dot fluid do I use 3 or 5?

DOT3 or DOT4 mostly likely, DOT5 is silicone based and not compatible with the old stuff still in the lines.

DOT 3 or DOT 4 (higher cleansing agents -- actually much better -- a little bit more expensive)....


Do NOT NOT use DOT 5 -- that is silicone brake fluid -- and NOT NOT
compatible at all -- only for use when the system is fully flushed and
prepared specifically for DOT 5 Brake Fluid....
