Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 366007, member: 578"] ATE Super Blue/TYP 200 Brembo LCF600 MOTUL RBF600 And then the very best of the best : CASTROL SRF And should be at 2-3x the cost of the others. But its still just a drop in the bucket when you consider its only a every 2 yr kind of thing to have to do a flush on the brake system. The ATE is nice in that it comes in two colors so you can see very clearly when you do a flush that you have fresh fluid. Brembo has a slightly better dry heat point but Motul has a even better wet but only a 2 degree lower dry than Brembo. They are both very good. Castrol is in the same range dry but blows it away with 60+ degrees better wet perf. Just remember to only get what you are going to use. Once brake fluid is open it needs to be used right then. It will pull in moisture no matter what you do so after a couple days and you are sure everything is good toss what you have left over. Something some many not know about brake fluid perf: If you ever have brake fade at all. Then you in all likelihood have boiled/burn the fluid at calipers that the fade has occurred at. That fluid will no longer work as well. You need to bleed a small amount at those calipers to pull fresh fluid in and get rid of the burn fluid. Not a full flush, just enough to cover whats in the caliper and the flex tubing. As these systems do not circulate only the fluid at the caliper sees heat and needs replacing from fade cause burn/boiling. Moisture is why we need to do full flushes regardless every 1-2 yrs depending on climate and perf use. Only open the brake res when you absolutely need to as you are letting moisture in every second its open. Many see a dramatic change in brake perf by doing a full flush and replacing stock hose with high quality SS teflon to prevent hose swell under pressure. [/QUOTE]
