I've heard two by some and I've heard three by others. I'm going to pick up some Motul RBF 600 tommorow and just needed to know how much to pick up. Just to be safe i may pick up three, but was just seeing wht the real anser was.

Also, does anyone knw that site with the how-to explanations on a flush?? I dont have my manual with me

 

3 should be more than enough. I used a little less than two. Keep the third for future bleeds and what not.

 

i used 3/4 of a liter bottle of ATE. that was a complete flush.

 

1 liter will do it.

 

If I recall the manual says LF, RF, RR, LR.

If you're not tracking immediately, skip the Motul and go w/Valvoline Sythetic. Not worth the cost on the street. I've used the Valvoline w/o any trouble at a heavy braking track. $0.02

 

you sure??? i thought it was RR, LF, LR, RF??

 

Thanks for the responses

Anyone know that website though??

 

Steve,

I understand what you're saying about picking up moisture quicker - but Motul still provides better protection even after picking up moisture.

Let's first look at the dry and wet boiling points:

DRY:401F -- WET:284F --- DOT3 MINIMUM
DRY:446F -- WET:311F --- DOT4 MINIMUM
DRY:500F -- WET:356F --- DOT5 MINIMUM
DRY:502F -- WET:343F --- VALVOLINE SYNPOWER
DRY:509F -- WET:365F --- MOTUL 5.1
DRY:527F -- WET:302F --- AP RACING 551
DRY:536F -- WET:392F --- ATE SUPERBLUE/TYP200
DRY:590F -- WET:410F --- AP RACING 600
DRY:590F -- WET:518F --- CASTROL SRF
DRY:593F -- WET:420F --- MOTUL RBF600
DRY:610F -- WET:421F --- NEO-SYNTHETIC SUPER DOT 610

I suppose you could say that Motul picks up moisture faster than, say, ATE, because the boiling temperature of Motul drops 173 degrees and that of ATE drops 144 degrees. But that's largely because the dry boiling point of Motul is so very much higher than that of ATE. Even after they both have a chance to pick up moisture, Motul still has a boiling temperature that's 28 degrees higher than ATE. So I think it's safe to say that you don't need to flush Motul any more frequently than you would ATE; if you leave them in for the same length of time, Motul will be providing better protection against boilover than ATE. Right?

I wouldn't discourage anyone from flushing fluid as frequently as they want to; fresher fluid is always a better thing (even though it may be so frequent as to be unnecessary). But it just seems as though the fluid that protects better when wet is the one that you can leave in as long as, or longer than, another fluid.

 

1 liter should do. I bet you'll only need half.

 

Anyone have the site to do the flush? I also need to flush my brake fluid & I want to do it the right way.
Does the HELMS manual xplaing this?

 

2 if you know what you are doing. If not, buy 10. Just in case. **** happens.
