Motul Rbf 600 Vs Ap Racing 600 (cp3600)

[Fujiwara]

I have searched but couldn't really come up with much info except the Motul seems to be really good.

However, one workshop reccomends the AP Racing even though it has lower boiling temps than the Motul because APPARENTLY, the Motul's can overheat easily, especially after a few hard laps on track.

Also, just wondering if they give good pedal feel ie. firm feel when braking.

Thanks in advance.

At every track day ive done, Motul oil has been great.. always gave great pedal feel.

Im using Motul DOT 5.1 and it seems great, no complaints here.

Im assuming RBF600 would only be better still...

I was originally planning to put in the AP Racing 5.1 but decided to go for the 600.

Just need to know which brand now... hmm....

Well the Motul is about $25 for 500ml. How much is the AP?

I used to pay $$11ty for the Castrol SRF and after a while I got over paying that much so I tried the Motul RBF600.

I can't say I have noticed any difference between the 2 and can't fault the RBF600 at all. I really don't see why people would pay more for a brake fluid when that stuff does the job perfectly.

RBF600 is DOT 4 isnt it?

I've used both AP 600 and Motul 600, both are good and never found a problem with sprint races upto 15laps in 1200kg GTSt or 1550kg GTR.

AP is $55 locally and Motul is $25... I now only use Motul for obvious reasons!

[Fujiwara]

Just ordered 1lt of Motul from JustJap.

Was going to try the AP 600 cause there wasn't alot of feedback on the forums.

But i couldn't justify the cost.

If you want the Motul fluid the best places to go looking are the motorbike shops. For some reason they carry Motul gear.

Also it is dot 4 (600) Which means it is much better than the run of the mill dot 4 fluid. The 600 is its boiling point in degrees fahrenheit.

Stuff paying $55 for 500ml.

Someone will be along in a minute to tell you about the Penzoil gear.

In Australia Motul has primarily been a bike brand... only in the last 5-6 years has it been pushed to cars.

Link International used to sponsor my Skyline when they were promoting the expansion.

Its always been big in Europe for both cars and bikes though.

yes, pretty funny. have a look at the bottle. ap,motul,penrite. sanme bottle. just differant lable and colour. all the same in my book. srf is just spastic expencive. we noticed no differance in the utes. (tested back to back)

we melt pistons in the calipers before it boils the penrite stuff.
