So if I bleed them should I stick to stock fluid? Or is it okay to mix the stock with for example ATE Super Blue? Or any other fluid better than stock.

AP Racing Formula 5.1 is ideal for street and high-performance use. It has the ideal viscosity for ABS systems. Plus, it does not contain dyes that the "blue" fluids use to permanently stain the reservoir with.

I think I am going to pick up your fluid from Stillen over xmas break for my brake overhaul next year.

SuperBlue works fine for me. I would flush the factory stuff out with it rather than topping up though.

Yea I just dont want to touch the rears tho, how many liters do we need again? I've done every brake job except this haha

You'll have to do the rears if you want to get all the air out won't you? :)

I think we used a can and a half flushing/bleeding mine.

You can get away with 1L if you are careful with the bleeding. Best to have 2L and be generous.

If you are going to change fluid you will need to bleed all 4 corners. Go in order of distance from the master cylinder, the rears will take more bleed time than the fronts as there is more fluid in the lines. Right rear, left rear, right front, left front. Bleed the outside of the caliper followed by the inside of the caliper.

These don't come in 1L cans though right?

Two 500mL bottles = 1 Liter.

We recommend either Endless brake fluid or the Motul RBF600.
If you're able to come out to our dealership, I'm sure our dealership can help you out.
I don't know what the issue is that you had with the fluid slightly seeping out of the bleeder cap/screw, but that's never a good thing, I would have it looked at asap. could be something faulty. IF it's all OEM, it might be something easily covered under warranty, but again, that all depends.
you can call us at 800-989-6173 (my extension is 2287) with any questions. We are a very mod friendly dealership ;)
