Brake fluid flush question

On car with abs and pasm can I flush the brake fluid using the Motive Bleeder? I’m talking about regular brake flush maintenance job.
Is it necessary to have the piwis for the service?

That is how I do it every few months. This is a very easy process to do by yourself.

Nice car!!

Here is a video of how easy it is to change your brake fluid.

Also, whats your recommendation for the best brake fluid?

How do you use your car? For street, stock fluid is fine. For track I use SRF, but it's pricey. Many people like Motul 600 which doesn't have as high a wet boiling temperature, but doesn't have the high price.

Whatever brand you use, don't get any on your paint. It will eat it.

I already purchased 1.5 l of Motul RBF600- use mostly for the street, was also wondering if the PCCB system use the same fluid. as on standard red caliper .

Is there a DIY for brake fluid flush for 997TT. Do most of you guys use the Motive bleeder? if so which should I get? Any precautions?

Also, can you just use turkey baster to get it out of the reservoir a few times? I only have 7k miles but the car is 2 yrs old now...

Thanks

I have a 2010 997 TT and just did it with a Motive bleeder. Put two bottles of brake fluid in the tank after removing as much of the fluid that I could from the reservoir, and than started the process. Was pretty easy to see the fluid clear up when it was through the system. Still had a half bottle left in the tank when I was done.
