I just bought this... ok for use with my APP ss brake lines?

 

yes. its good stuff

 

Yes.

 

What is the drawback for using high temp brake fluid?

 

From http://www.motul.com:

"RBF 600 Factory Line
100% synthetic fluid for hydraulic-actuated brake and clutch systems. Specifically designed to resist the high temperatures of actuated (steel or carbon) racing brakes and clutch systems.

EXTREME THERMAL RESISTANCE AND STABILITY: the elevated boiling point of RBF 600 FACTORY LINE (312°c / 593°F) enables effective braking even under the extreme conditions of competition.

VERY EFFICIENT WHEN RAINY: the very high wet boiling point (216°c / 420°F), is superior to conventional brake fluids provides a particularly efficient braking system in rain and put back the apparition of vapor lock.

NORMES : FMVSS 116 DOT 4 / SAE J 1703 / ISO 4925"


From what I understand, you can't mix with petroleum or silicone brake fluids... and you have to change more often due to it has less resistance to moisture contamination...

The good news is that I have been using the motul rbf 600 for a while now. I bought this at a motorcycle shop today, and just wanted to be certain I got the right thing since they didn't seem to know if motul made auto-specific fluids... The bottle I got last time looked different (I guess they changed the design). It looks like they're all the same - except for the bottle...

 

That is why I have chosen to run Motul 5.1...

Where did you get your APP ss lines?

 

OT: But I've been using Motul RBF 600 and 5.1. I remember reading somewhere that you can't change from Motul to ATE because it causes the M/C seals will go bad. Can anyone confirm this? I think Roger foo was quoted saying this?

 

That's the stuff I've been trying to get a hold of locally. I will try motorcycle shops like Black R said.

 

yeah, I've heard that rumor too!!!

Anyway, I'm sticking with the motul... (I wish they made 2 different colors so I could tell when the new fluid was coming out easier...)


Flux, were you talking about these:




I got them from the same guy I get practically everything else:

u know u hsould only buy brake fluid thats in metal cans, cause the plastic containers let moisture through

 

I have been using my RBF 600 for about 13k (about a year now)miles now without any flushes, or bleeds. No track days though, just a handful of autocrosses.

Feels the same as when I put it in new.

I think you can safely go a year without bleeding the 600 in for new, but if you track your car, then it should be more frequent, as with any other brake fluid.

 

these bottles are Ti lined and teflon coated...

 

no to mention filled with some inert gas instead of air.
