scotty, can u put that dye in brake fluid?

[scottykilmer]

@ilovemyeg2sir NO, that's about the only system you can't use it in.

Scotty, when using the dye lite is it a certain amount of time u let the vehicle run to let the dye work it's way through the system?

[scottykilmer]

@fivefortyeye540i 5 minutes is fine.
