Which brake fluid should I use, I have the GREX kit and was wondering should I use stock or should I some other type of brake fluid

 

motul?

 

I like ATE superblue, it's less expensive so I don't feel so guilty when I bleed it before every track day. It's also nice if your changing over fluid completely, it's easy to see when all the amber fluid is out of the system.

 

I got motul RBF 600...a lot of ppl here reccommended it to me.

 

+1 ATE Super Blue

 

MOTUL RBF600 hands down!

thank you, then motul it is, how many bottles do i need?

 

If you have a big brake kit make sure you're using big brake fluid.

 

i know that i need to use BBk fluid, i just want to know how many bottles i should buy

 

3 bottells of RBF600

3 liters..

 

I wouldn't reccomend RBF600 unless the car sees the track. There is no point in spending so much money on brake fluid for a street driven car. There is WAY better stuff for the street. Keep in mind RBF600 is extremely hydroscopic than standard brake fluid and needs to be bleeded more often otherwise it loses the temp advantage it had in the first place.

For no worry performance, use ate blue(typ200), motul 5.1, valvoline synpower, etc...

if you track the A LOT car... RBF600 is a good choice, otherwise it's a waste of time and money.

Here is a table of fluid comparisson

the cars probably not going to see much of the track, someone had recommended project mu brake fluid. AS for the the motul 5.1, blue(type200), and valvoline, would any pepboys sell these?

 

I use ATE Super Blue in all my street cars that see track days maybe once a month. No complaints at all on my end.

 

Why? Even if you never bleed the lines it will still have a higher wet boiling point then any other fluid...

Web boiling point is what to look for in a brake fluid...

 

why? because you are wasting money.

why spend 45$ for a brake fluid change when you can spend 15$? The wet boiling point between type200 and RBF600 is only 28F! Valvoline synpower is even cheaper and still offers excellent performance(even good for track use).

Personally, I track on the valvoline stuff and have yet to boil anything. I love the fact it comes in small bottles.

 

see you at the track then...

 

I've tracked on the stock fluid and ATE, and have yet to ever boil either of them. Yes, there are things that might be "better" but whats the point if you're not even going to use it to its maximum potential, just wasting money.

Thats like saying you should use 100 octane everyday cuz its got a higher knock resistance. True, it does have a higher knock resistance, but that doesn't mean you need it.

The original poster of this thread even said the car will barely ever see the track. So my advice to him, just go with what you can afford. If something cheaper will suite your needs then go with that. If you've got extra money burning a hole in your pocket, then by all means, buy the most expensive stuff you can get.

 

Thanx for all your recommendations. I will probably go with the cheaper brand. The boiling pt, portion I don't think it really matters because iot really doesn't get too hot here in PA, I was just more concerned with teh fluidity whether there was a difference in viscosity under hotter conditions due to the fact that it is a bbk.

 

Just for the record, I was just joking aobut the 'big brake fluid'

 

where can i buy Valvoline synpower?
