    Was away for a few days and just saw this reply. Yeah, brake fluid is super corrosive, especially on glass. The DOT rating (3, 4, 5, etc.) doesn’t play a role in how corrosive it is, it’s more about the different additives and composition of the specific fluid and what it’s service life is. The more you know…

      Yeah, Ive been working on engines (mostly my own, for fun) for decades, and I never knew about brake fluid and glass.
