Please give the name & the dot # of the brake fluid you are using? Possibly, please provide the price & where can I buy it. Thanks
Please also give a comment on how u like its performance.

 

stock fluid for now. I'm gonna put in some Motul 600 as soon as i get SS lines. You can get fluid from any of the onlines distributors here on the boards.

 

Motul RBF 600, DOT 4 (I think). I buy it locally for $12 or something like that. I'm sure you can do a search on the net and find it cheaper.
[edit] Oh yeah, seems to work fine. I have SS lines, so the fade doesn't seem to be too big a problem until the later sessions. Time to change pads though, guess I'll wait till next season though.[/edit]

I also run MOTUL, but only before track days, otherwise I use stock fluid.

 

Do we have to change the brake fluid after each event? Even if it's just a driving school?

 

ATE Super Blue
You don't have to change it, just bleed all 4 calipers.

 

MOTUL600

 

Sam who is that girl in your avatar....she looks HOTTTTTTTT

 

Super Blue here also. Just ordered (12) 1 liter cans of it

 

12!? Damn! 1 can came with Hawk Pads F&R and SS lines in a group buy awhile back here on h-t, $180 I think.

 

Sam,

I only change it if the pedal feels mushy after an event. Otherwise I keep it in until the next event (or until it feels mushy)

 

Motul 5.1

 

5.1?

 

yeah inlinefour-

 

Thanks James

Do you or anyone know how this is diff from 600?

-y

 

From the Motul Web site:

LONG LIFE 100% synthetic fluid for hydraulic actuated-brake and clutch systems.
DOT 5.1 NON-SILICONE BASE.
Fluidity specially designed for anti-locking brake systems.

LONG LIFE FORMULA : the high wet boiling point (185°c/365°F), superior to DOT 4 and DOT 3 fluids enables to use this product longer.
SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO ANTI-LOCKING BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) : its viscosity (820 centipoises at -40°c / -40°F) lower than DOT 4 and DOT 3 brake fluids, allows MOTUL BRAKE FLUID DOT 5.1 an easier fluid circulation in micro-valves of anti-locking systems.
PERFECTLY NEUTRAL WITH SEALS USED IN BRAKING SYSTEMS. ANTI-CORROSION.

STANDARDS : FMVSS 116 DOT 5.1 NON SILICONE BASE & DOT 4 & DOT 3
SAE J 1703

thanks guys

yoshi - who couldn't do a search b/c he's trying to finish up some work

 

So, seems like Motul 600 is the King of brake fluid?
Anyone has experience with Valvoline Syntheic? I think it is Dot 4?

 

usually people like to choose between either motul or ATE super blue i dont really know of other companies.

 

I hear (from George Knighton) that Motul makes for a mushy brake pedal. I use ATE Superblue but I'm still a young'un.

 

Billion Super Brake Fluid, as soon as it gets here.

 

Motul 600, awesome!!

 

I've ben running the Valvoline Synthetic for the last couple of track events as well as on the street. It works great, esp for the price. Pedal feels firm all the way. At CMP I didn't experience any fade running Hawk Blues and Valvoline - ran the same fluid for both days - even though it's cheap enough to do a full bleed for fresh stuff.

I used to run Motul because I heard it was the best and it had the highest boiling temps. Just got silly expensive after a while. Decided to try the Valvoline and see if it had "the stuff" to handle the track. What do you know! It's cheap and plenty available.

 

ATS superblue here also
