Blinker fluid, what do you prefer?
Ok guys, I was reading another thread where a guy was doing his 5.000 mile service and someone reminded him to change his blinker fluid.
Now my question is:
what kind do you prefer? Do you use any old blinker fluid? What weight do you prefer? Do you use dot 3? or some unrated brand?
I have changed my lenses to tinted lenses so that means i have to go to a lighter weight fluid to make them brighter.
no jokes, keep it serious, some of us are trying to lern something here!

I would strongly suggest 3 in 1 oil for the blinkers... Very light viscosity. Plus the flux capacitor runs cooler with it. On the other hand if you get the blinker with the platinum filament then i would use a bit of DOT 5 brake fluid because i hear it increases the cooling capacity.

I like to recycle and prefer to go with used cooking oil myself. Smells really good once it heats up especially if it was used for fries or fish and chips.

Sometimes there is heat build up in the bulb module.
One good way to dissipate this excessive heat would be to put some type of heat radiating material around the module. Maybe some type of metal in the shape of thin fins around the module. This will get rid of that destructive heat build up.
I do not know why HD does not have this in their catalog of parts.
This is such a no-brainer. Why doesn't HD not offer this?
