Brake fluid (yes I searched)

[dangerous_daveo]

Ok, after doing a search (I put brake fluid in, and searched everything in this section) I came up with nothing.

So what brake fluid would be recomended for my car. Nissan cefiro, with a what would seem full R32 brake conversion, on the front DBA4000 slotted rotors with the RB74 pads.

The car gets a bit of a flogging now and then, nothing serious, the plan is to eventually get in to motorkana stuff, and some track days, not to win, just to have fun and 'keep it off the street' so to speek.

PS, if posible Id like the information quick, as the car is going in tomorow to start getting a good fix up.

I strongly recommend Motul RBF600. It's fairly priced about $20 a bottle, you'll need 2 bottles for a full flush and proper bleed.

It's a high temp brake fluid, nice for everyday street use and pretty good on track days.

Most DOT 4 or 5 fluids are for high temperature use so would do, but obviously some are better than others.

I usually always hear Motul recommended as well.

One more for Motul.

Make it three for Motul RBF 600.

i'll be the forth for rbf600 .. higher temp rating than the dot 5 from motul

Ok, thanks muchly. If anyone else has some imput it would also be nice.

I shall keep everyone updated on how things go.

PS, the master cyl was also leaking so that is going to get fixed up, should be good!

I'd recommend 1 that not many people have heard of I dont think... Motul RBF600, oh wait, hangon... don't mind me

Motul all the way

Yes indeed it is the best for track applications, but because of its wet temp rating ie works well when water is absorbed... we change ours often.

Some fluids will work almost as well and you can leave in without the threat of corrosion.

dot 5 fluid is silicon based, and i DONT recommend it... i dont know if people are meaning to say dot 5.1 or not, but you either want dot 4 or dot 5.1 brake fluid

there was a thread about these different types not too long ago..
