's funny .. half the threads say its the low moisture content thats important.. half say its the seals.. I'm running no land rover brand parts in my brakes.. or clutch.

I've never run into brake seals that have been damaged by anything other than age.. Most last well beyond their recommended life.

THe manual talks about changing the hydro fluids for moisture contamination.. not for seal problems. But.. I've seen a few self leveling suspensions SUPPOSEDLY failed for wrong fluids. But they were also rather old.

Its like the GL5 issue.. It may corrode yellow metals and reduce standard transmission life by up to 40%.. quite possibly limiting them to only several hundred thousand miles... rover transmissions excepted. Then again.. the new ones claim to be less corrosive.
