Matco seems a bit behind the times. MIL-H-83282 is
synthetic, and has a
much higher flash point (458F) than dino-based
MIL-H-5606 (219F). This
makes it less likely to set your bird on fire
should you have a brake
problem. It's also red, and is compatible with
MIL-H-5606 fluid and
seals. Cleveland's tech manual specifies either
Mil-H-5606 or
Mil-H-83282 as acceptable. Personally, I wouldn't use
anything but
Mil-H-83282.
Where is a good
source for the Mil-H-83282 brake fluid?
