Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because DOT 3, a glycol-based fluid, is the recommended brake fluid for most ABS systems, not silicone-based fluids. Silicone-based fluids (DOT 5) are not typically recommended for ABS systems due to their different properties, such as air absorption and compressibility, which can affect the system's performance.
