Motul is pretty spendy for what you get, it's great stuff, but unless you're tracking it, it's not worth it.

The clutch system and the brake system are separate, don't worry about it.

did anyone write up a DIY for changing out the brake fluid? Comin up on my 30k soon, :tiphat:

1) Endless Top dollar fluid
2) Ferodo or AP Racing PRF
3) Motul 600 entry level

If you aren't tracking the car, anything more than valvoline synthetic is a waste of money.

The service manual is pretty straight forward on bleeding the brakes. As for draining the system, it says to put a vinyl hose on the caliper and pump the pedal... The interesting part about the bleeding process is the sequence of which wheel to do first, second, third, and last. I've attached the bleeding page.

CAUTION:
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector
or the battery negative terminal before performing the work.


Anyone know how to do the underlined steps? I guess you could just disconnect the negative terminal but I'm curious.

This is what I use, great fluid and relatively inexpensive.

Best Brake Fluid For Track - FerrariChat.com

I use super dot 4 by pentasin. I put it in my jeep, my brother in laws jeep, and my 370z and I love it. I don't not auto cross or track my car at all so couldnt tell you how it holds up but for my use it is plenty. Also available at napa

If you need the very best brake fluid, Torque RT700 is it. It performs even better than Castrol SRF or Endless RF-650 and costs almost as much. All three have the highest possible boiling point, but the Torque fluid has better feel (higher specific gravity / density) and higher reserve alkalinity for longer service between changes.

If not needed the best, almost all brake fluids labeled "Racing DOT4" or "High Performance DOT4" will work. About 30+ of them are made by the same company and are exactly the same fluid anyway, although their prices vary dramatically.

i don't care who'se 600 deg fluid you use...

But for the love of ALL that is HOLY... do NOT use Superblue.
<-- boiled that sh*t

For reasons that makes no sense to me, that fluid enjoyed a far better reputation than its performance should have earned. Fortunately, it is not on the market anymore in that version. The original "Type 200" (same, but not dyed) is sold by lots of distributors. It's decent for everyday street use, but nowhere near a performance/racing brake fluid.

Oh, really? i think that's what i'm running now in clutch and brakes....

I did cook it on a hot street run, and the brakes need a single push to 'pump' up nearly every use....

PFC 665. Awesome fluid and holds up great at the track for me. PFC rocks with any brake stuff.
