^ I thought the same too, which is why I googled it to see if Mark was trying to pull an April fools stunt on us

That's how I do mine
And typically when it is in this position I pull the blade and give it a sharpen

Last year though, I confess, I finally broke down and bought a new blade
The one I had on there I had sharpened for 5-6 years and it was really looking sad

I'm afraid Old Man Winter is going to pull the greatest April Fools joke on us

I couldn't listen to the audio here at work, but the video looks like the method I was thinking of.

very true. At first it was a winter storm watch. This morning it was a winter storm warning. Now its a winter storm advisory. Tomorrow AM it could very well be Winter storm foolery

Better than not being able to see the video at all

That all makes perfect sense
To me though, the bleed valve tube goes into a jar OF OLD FLUID so as to make sure no air get's sucked up into the system.
Once the pumping begins at the very start yes a tiny bit of old fluid may backup into the caliper, but after a few pumps this is all out.
The other thing with old fluid is you get one more indication of the process working because you should see 3 changes in fluid color, 1st the real dark stuff from the bleed jar, then the slightly dirty from what's in the system, and then the clean that is coming down in from the master cylinder from the NEW JAR.

Going home
See ya tomorrow
I learned a lot today about the auto engine shutoff on the CR-Z
It seems with the 6MT, you can easily be clever and force the engine to stay running
Ironically enough, all that that will require is for me to drive a manual like I always have
I'm the kind of driver that sits at a stop with the clutch in, car in gear, foot on brake
If I were to sit at a light with the car in neutral, clutch in or out, foot on the brake the engine would turn off
Honestly, I just see this constant shutting off and restarting to be a whole lot of extra wear and tear for what seems like a very tiny fuel savings

I use this method on the MG, although I use a plastic bottle, smaller and with a magnet so I can hang it on the car. Bought at auto zone for about $20.

I like the grease tip.

Aashish, You should make sure that you use the same type of brake fluid as already in use. I think DOT 3 and DOT 4 are compatible, but they are not compatible with DOT 5. I guess you would be looking for a high temperature brake fluid.

Also make sure you don't spill brake fluid on your paint. Historically, brake fluid and paint are not compatible, although I don't know about the modern paints.
