NEVER use automotive brake fluid for the brakes in gliders!
Automotive brake fluid will destroy the seals.


Except, of course, in those rare but not non-existant cases where the
brakes were designed around automotive pistons and seals. A good
example is the early (pre-MATCO) Rosenhan drum units used on some 1960s
American gliders.
