Paging mrblaine.
I really need to get off the internet because sometimes you can read too much. I replaced all 4 calipers, I got out about 18 oz of fluid. And so this is where the dumb questions start.
1) It's very clear to me I shouldn't let the master get empty, did my 18 oz do that? My reservoir is empty, does that necessarily mean my master is empty?
2) I've read your "Open screw, pedal to the floor hard and fast, close screw, let pedal up, repeat." advice multiple times. Do I just keep doing this at each corner until fresh fluid comes out? I keep seeing references to modern ABS systems being "weird" when being bled. I don't know how serious those are.
3) Does the fluid I put in matter if I don't know what's in there? I've read about how 5 doesn't play well with 3/4/5.1 because of silicone. If I'm flushing all the way through each caliper does it matter?
4) Do I need the key in the on position for this? When you've helped some others trouleshoot you've had a few of them look for brake lights to turn on the dash, though I'm unsure what exactly that's for.
