Hey Moose,

Im still very new to all this information regarding brake fluids and I was going to be changing my brake pads soon. I was just wondering, is it ok to mix an aftermarket brake fluid with the OEM brake fluid? Any idea which brake fluid out there (not a racing brake fluid) has the same DOT or contents as the OEM brake fluid? Or is it best to just flush the whole system and add new brake fluid?

Thanks!
