Brake fluid change
 

Hi All
Its time to change my brake fluid.
What do you recomend?
Car has uprated brakes and requires high perormance fluid.

This seems to be favourite on most forums

Thats the stuff I was recommended to use too :)

Got a half litre bottle here unopened if you need it

dot 5.1.

Hae looked at the specs and it out performance Dot5.1's in most areas.
Am going to need to purge the whole system , so the offer of the fluid would be great thanks mate.

does it mix though ?

Chris. If I go for this, then you have to purge/ flush all old out, which I want to do, as it's extremely old now.
Cheers

Millers racing 300 plus

:oops:

Was out in the garage this afternoon and just checked i still had this - and i've obviously opened it at some point (don't remember tho lol)

I guess i must have just used a bit to top the system up at some point, bottle still feels full but not sealed. Sorry chap, thought it was new :cuckoo:

Thats the stuff http://www.superhids.co.uk/motul-rbf...ake-fluid.html :-D

No probs Steve

dot3, dot 4 and dot5.1 b/fluids all mix no problem but your better off flushing thro with new at least every 2yrs and potentially as much as every outing dependant on use/driving style

the numbers get confusing as some fluids are "only" dot4 but have far higher spec than dot5.1's (specifically designed for certain ABS system criteria)

as with most things not all fluids are equal and we would generally use Motul dot5.1 as a min. being one of the best performing of its type, then either Motul RBF600 or Millers Racing 300+ and finally top of the tree is the Performance Frictions RH665 b/fluid (which we now use in preference even over Castrol SRF)
