Yeah I'm at brakes plus having it flushed right now. I pulled over to check why my lights came back then realized my mistake. I drove to closest place to flush in a near panic. Lol

I will probably drive the new stuff for a week or two then flush it again to try and get it really flushed (I want to run the fluid through the system a bit)

I only put in about a tablespoons worth and I'm hoping it stayed mostly up in the reservoir. I don't know how much that stuff circulated down into the system.

As per letting the pros work on my car. No way! Sure, i massively Goofed this up, but I'd sooner buy a new f'ed up car every year than stop having the fun of spinning wrenches Changing fluids and modding up my ride. These bonehead mistakes are how I've learned most of the cool stuff in life. Driving for me is part logistics, part hobby, part pure joy. Breaking my car from working on it is all just part of the fun.

If my steering pump or rack seals go bad from this, I'll upgrade, add a cooler put in some awesome color coded lines and move forward poorer wiser but most of all happy!

Thanks for the input guys. Ill post back here if I encounter problems and ill post the "fix" on my build page.

p.s. the brakes plus manager says this is no big deal due to the small amount of added fluid. (I hope he is right)
