Buy a quart of this stuff from www.skygeek.com and you're probably good for life. This is the latest incarnation of brake fluid that most GA aircraft use, and is less flammable. MIL-PRF-83282D is compatible with the previous fluid, MIL-PRF-5606H, which Aircraft Spruce still sells. None of the DOT (3,4,5) fluids are compatible unless you change the o-rings in the caliper to match them. Mark Langford, Harvest, AL ML at N56ML.com www.N56ML.com
