87 and newer Avanti brakes...

[AG-R3]

Do the 87 - 91 Avantis have ABS systems?  I was just doing a bit of research  and noted that ABS systems should never use DOT5 fluid because of foaming.....    In fact the install sheets on the masters, say to not even mix DOT3 and 4

87-88 no ABS.  Don't know about the other years.

Interesting… I’ve never had an issue mixing Dot 3 & 4 brake fluid.

The install instructions for the master goes through the usual procedure of bench bleeding, etc.  Could be that they are just covering the field...

Why would DOT 5 foam in a closed system?
