If the issue persists, consulting a professional mechanic is advisable.

For a 1965 Lincoln Continental, you should use DOT 3 brake fluid, as it is compatible with the braking system of that era. It's essential to check the owner's manual or consult with a classic car specialist to ensure the best performance and safety. Additionally, be mindful of moisture absorption, as older systems can be sensitive to fluid degradation. Always keep brake fluid levels topped off and replace it as needed.
