Brake Fluid

[ajvmoore]

Got a Fiat T. Coupe, brakes spongey as as spongey thing - Brembo calipers on the front - (standard). Decided to change the fluid, and things much improved - out came the murky brown and in went the clear golden new. Only thing is, after finishing off, brakes now much much better - then I saw that reservoir said " use only DOT4" but I used DOT 5.1.
Will this cause any problems? - both are mineral based, anybody know?

(dont know how to start new topic - apologies this appears in V8 thread)

It's OK, they're compatible.
