Too Funny... My wife is buying them for me and she works at State Farm. Need I say more.... Insurance companies don't care. Just like if you want to upgrade rims or suspension or performance engine parts...
Lets get back on track. Suggestions on brake fluid. 2011 has dot 3 and 2014 has dot 4. Suggestions what I should go with. How much do I need on hand for the job?
Those two are interchangeable, as well as DOT 5.1... Higher boiling point and less water absorption the better. I've used Castrol LMA before with good luck... And its available in two colors to make bleeding easier...
When I changed my non-ABS cars to DOT 5, I always made sure I had 2qts on hand. I think I only used about 1 qt per car, but you WILL spill a bunch, curse several times, take a bath in DOT 3, etc...
A MityVac is a huge help! Further you WILL need a flare-nut wrench, even for the bleeders...
Best bet is not to suck the master cylinder dry, but keep the master cylinder filled while using a MityVac to "draw through" the new fluid... If the master cylinder gets empty, you might have to bench bleed it which us a real pain. Once the fluid changes color (to the new) clearly, have an assistant press the peddle and bleed a few times with peddle pressure (2-3) that way...
Worked best for me to get an air-free solid peddle...
Don't know if you will need the Ford tool to cycle the ABS solenoids to perform bleeding?
Have fun!
