Can you use At205 in your brake system

I wanted to know if you could pour some at205 reseal into your brake fluid. I have a leak wear I could see the boot of the plunger of the master cylinder is wet with brake fluid and it seems like a slow leak. The car is a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. Thanks

NO!! Brake systems work under high hydraulic pressure, never put anything but clean brake fluid in them. Replace the leaking part.

it would be completely pointless since they're the exact same thing.


At205 is brake fluid? Or brake fluid is at205? Same ingredients?


that's right


really? i didn't know that


Now I'm wondering if I could just put brake fluid in my oil and get the same results.

AT-205 is hard to find right now. AutoZone and O'Reilly's never heard of it. The guy at NAPA said he's never seen it in his store and he buys it from CarQuest, and CarQuest says it's been on a national backorder for a long time.

Or, we could get Scotty to weigh in on an alternative since my expectation is not to put brake fluid in your engine.

The box says not to use it in brake systems.

Even if you could, think. Would it be worth the chance? 

If there's ONE system to never take short cuts on it's the brakes.
