Default Fluids

my first time autocrossing is going to be this month and I have been researching a lot about it. One thing Im not sure on is what are the best fluids to use, i.e. brake, coolant, clutch? Is there really a better brand for some of these?

Check out MOTUL and Royal Purple. Motul for the brake fluid, Royal Purple for the radiator (Purple Ice).

I don't really think you will need to upgrade fluids for an autocross as the runs are usually less than 2 minutes long. If you are going to do track racing, that is a different thing, and I agree with what USN HM 350Z said.

I think Motul probably has something for that. (Just guessing)
