I am in the middle of redoing all of my brakes and I would like to purge my brake fluid and put all new stuff in.
What is the best brake fluid to use.

 

Taken from my brake DIY above:

Brand Wet Dry
Castrol SRF 518°F 590°F
Motul RBF600 420°F 593°F
GS610 417°F 610°F
AP-600 410°F 572°F
Brembo LCF 600 399°F 601°F
ATE-Super Blue 392°F 536°F
Valvoline 333°F 513°F
Castrol LMA 311°F 446°F
Ford HD 290°F 550°F
Wilwood 570 284°F 570°F
PFC-Z rated 284°F 550°F
AP-550 284°F 550°F

I use either Motul or GS610 because I bleed the brakes oftern. If you don't plan to do it more than once per year, SRF is simply unrivalled, but it is very expensive, and cost prohibative for a constant bleed fluid. By constant bleed, I mean, doing 10-12 HPDE events per year and dumping upwards of $100 per container every time you bleed the system, which is before every event for me.

I use SRF. For me (lower category)....it meant the stock brakes never boiled. No issues. Fluid lasts all season. Mikelly is right. For me, doing it once with the best stuff made sense. I plan to do it again soon for the zone 2 event and that should do me for the season.

Anyway, cannot say enough. On the internet, a bottle is 80 bucks or so. FYI. It takes just under one bottle to do the system.

+1 Castrol SRF.

 

+1 srf

 

Ryan,

Get the Motul 600 from www.driversedgeautosport.com

Get a Motive brake bleeder too.

Castrol SRF is a stupid price in Canada! plus nobody sells any good brake fluid in our town.

 

+1 more for SRF.

Tilton has some new fluid coming out soon that should be comparable, available in smaller containers to make things more comparable and help with water absorption.

 

Hey Ben,
sounds good.. ya I called around and no one has anything good here...

Do you know where a good place I can get my tranny mount fixed here?

 

I guess Frank in Winfield would be the best place. He should not charge you too much. Let me know what he is going to charge you.
