Can I put Motul RBF600 brake fluid into a Boxtser?

I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me if Motul RBF600 brake fluid is OK to use with 987.1 Boxster S?

I'm looking to put in something more resistant to boiling, so help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

I run it in my 2006 Cayman S. I would recommend flushing the system with the new fluid, not just adding it to you existing fluid.

+1 make sure to flush out all the old fluid before you so.

Thanks guys. Plan is to flush the old fluid 1st. Though, I wanted to make sure I'm not putting in anything that does not agree with the car.

I've used the Motul RBF600 in many cars, vintage and modern. As long as you flush the system completely so the fluids can't react with each other you'll be good.

The difference in pedal feel and fade resistance is impressive with this fluid. If you're still using OEM pads be careful though, you can over-heat them and get fade long before the fluid will boil.

That's what I currently have in my car... I bought 2 bottles to do the whole flush.
