just wondering what kind of brake fluid you guys are running? i have a 2000 si and i need to pick some up. whats the best?

 

dot 3

 

well yea i know that i was just wondering if theres any differences from brand to brand or what not

 

I use the valvoline stuff at autozone. Its in the greyish silver bottle.

Its always there and priced competitively.

If you want something a little better like ATE superblue you will probably have to mailorder it or special order it from you shop.

 

Go to Honda and get their brake fluid.

DOT 5

 

ATE Blue or Honda brake fluid

 

PRESTONE DOT 3

 

Ok I a hydraulic mech and you are just wasting your money buying top of the line fluid. Dot 3 or 4 is fine for normal driving. The biggest cause of fluid going bad is old age. Your service manual has the proper time change requirements. Liquids are incompressible and that is the bottom line. Water would even work in a emergency. Save your money.

Your nuts.

DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 systems are incompatible with DOT 5 fluid.

 

castrol Lma Gt dot 3/4 from pep boys at $5/qt. Lma stands for low moisture absorbing.

 

Just got new rotors and pads from stoptech, I also got Motul RBF 600 DOT4 brake fluid, not sure if its over doing it or not. we'll see how it goes
