What Brake Fluid?

[Pullstarter]

Hey Guys,
Soon to be installing a set of Neuspeed braided brake lines in the VR, intending to flush the whole brake system and replace with new fluid, what fluid do you recommend?

[MattyT]

Motul RBF600.

There is no other.

How much do i need to do a system flush and replace you think?

I reckon 1.5 to 2 litres would be plenty to do that.

HAve a read and decide if you need to spend big money on Motul.

Personally I wouldn't, look for some DOT 5.1.

I use & recommend Castrol Response Dot4 for everyday use. Also used by BMW & VW.
But for more extreme conditions, Castrol Response Super Dot4

I like it not only because of it's performance characteristic's, but also because it's yellow & you can see when it's getting old.
It start's to turn dark as it get's older & if it's been on a track & used hard a few times, it turn's alittle milky. Good service indicator.

Brake fluid should be changed every 2 year's. 1L is more than enough to flush the braking system, especially when you have a pressure bleeder.

Also, just a little side note, any braided brake hoses that aren't made in Aust. & source elsewhere are illegal as they don't comply with our ADR's. (it's this way in Vic., don't know about other states)

All braided brake hose's should have a ADR-7 so they comply with Aust ADR's.
