I'm looking at picking up some Motul RBF 600 (DOT 4, 593 degrees F dry and 420 degrees F wet boiling points) but I wanted to see what you guys use first.

Motul RBF is always a good choice and used by a number of people here. It isn't always cheap though.

These guys were selling it for $7.95 a bottle....

I use Motul RBF600 in my Integra. I can't attest to the quality or anything, but at the local motorcycle shop, it's 12 bucks a bottle.

Valvolene SynPower (DOT 4+)... cheap, readily available, and works well on the road course for me.

Valvoline SynPower for auto-x and year-round daily driving. Andie@Cobalt recommended it but told me to call back if I was having fade problems, that was 2 years ago and the brakes have been fine.

Valvoline Synpower in all my cars; tow vehicle, both racecars, wife's cars, etc.

flush and change once a year in all. fresh bleed and top off every other weekend in the racecars.

Pep Boys carries it; 32 oz container is $5
