- You NEVER add anything OTHER than brake fluid to the master-cylinder!
- You depend on your brakes to stop the car and SAVE your butt from a
- wreck! ANY oily substance in the brake system will QUICKLY deteriate the
- rubber parts throughout the system, then you will be spending a LOT of
- money to have everything containing rubber replaced.

- If a fading pedal is your only symtom then replace the master-cylinder,
- there not that expensive or hard to install.
