How do you guys like it? Is it ABS competiable? Deos it trend to absorb moisture faster than other fluid and give you a soft pedal feeling after a short period of time. I mainly use it for daily driving and 5-6 track event in one year. I hope it can last for a year before I need to flush it..

 

hated it. all it did was make the brake pedal mushay

yoshi - whose using valvoline synthetic now

 

I Do, And love it. Driven with it for about 6 months and a 2 day track event and its still like day 1

 

I love it. I use it in my ITR and in my NSX, both of which go to the track. It has higher dry (312°c / 593°F) and wet (216°c / 420°F) boiling points than almost any other brake fluid you can buy. It doesn't absorb moisture quickly, which is why it has such a high wet boiling point. It's also very reasonably priced ($10-12 per half-liter bottle). With such high boiling points, the fluid never boils and the brakes never fade. Great stuff.

Sounds like you still had some air in your brake lines. I've never had this happen. I always have a nice, firm pedal feel with my Motul RBF 600.

no air...I bled it 4 times w/ Motul. Got tired of wasting $$$, so I switched to Valvoline. After 1 flush w/it, it's just as good (if not better) than stock - pedal firmness wise.

yoshi - whose not sure why motul didn't work on 234 *shrugs*

 

I competed all last year using RBF 600 ... worked fine for me

 

Yeah Yoshi I'm hoping you are the exception to the rule. I've got 6 bottles of Motul on the way right now. So far you are the only one I've seen say it was no good. We'll see how it does for me in the ITR and the bike. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

 

Thanks guys for your response. So, since you guys drive ITR, I assume it should work fine with the ABS too. I ask this because I saw the ad of Motul 5.1 emphasis that they work well with ABS and RBF doesn't.

 

Yes, on Motul's website it says that their DOT 5.1 fluid has a lower viscosity. But it also has a lower wet boiling point than their RBF 600. I haven't had any problems with the ABS using the RBF 600.
