I know..OEM. I think thats the new bandwagon for 2007.

Im thinking on using some dot 4 fluid on both the clutch an brake. good idea? What do you guys use?

 

in my clutch/brake im using some generic crap that costed like 3bucks.. its what i found at a shell station when my MC poo'd on me... ill prob switch to name brand when i do a thurough fluid flush...

my coolant smells like rotten/dead/zombie/revived/dead fish.

 

ATE superblue is probably the best high performance clutch/brake fluid IMO.

 

ATE is the best by far for street and some track use. For serious track use, look at Motul RBF600, Motul RBF660, and Castrol SRF. They're not cheap, though (Castrol SRF is $70 per liter)!

 

how exactly does one make "good" brake fluid...isnt it just to transfer pressure? liquids dont compress so whats the difference?

 

how it responds to heat? if it gunks up or not? o.O i dont know...

 

The rate at which the fluid absorbs water, how well it retains the water it has absorbed, and the wet boiling point of the fluid.

 

ok gotcha, thanks

use it on all my cars no problem ...anyone feel free to contradict me go right ahead, maybe u know something about it that i dont know

 

 

hmmm
i use SynPower by valvoline
DOT4

doesnt look like that tho... mines an all black bottle with yellow letters i think....
hm

 

i think its the same ****. they had 1 of those on the shelf..but just one. might be a new bottle

 

For a street car, that Valvoline Syn stuff is great. Works very well and is super affordable. One thing I'd like to note is that although DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3, it absorbs water quicker than DOT 3, so it'll lower its boiling point faster and need to be changed more frequently. "recommended" is every 30k, but most people range from 100k to never

 

you know they have dot 5. I guess its a silicone based. Someone told me that at kragon. I was like wtf...dot 5..crazy.

 

Castrol GT LMA fluid ftw.

Don't use DOT 5 fluid, it doesn't absorb water and any water in your brake system will sit there and corrode your parts.
