Questions & Answers
Because this material is so hygroscopic, you'll have to replace it more frequently. I go through mine every two years. This isn't a silicone-based product. It also has a significantly higher dry and wet boiling point than standard OEM DOT 4's. This stuff is made to be used in races. With this fluid, I notice a significant reduction in brake fade.
Without a doubt. Because the piping is close to the exhaust and the pedal gets squishy in hot weather, I use it in my 350Z clutch system. It can also be mixed with regular brake fluid, though I think that would be a waste. I was able to find a solution to my issue.
Sure, this fluid can be used in the 350z application, but do you really need the high temperature properties and higher cost of this fluid in your application? Is this a race car that's been built specifically for racing? If not, a DOT3 fluid would be perfectly acceptable. To maintain the higher fluid boiling properties with fresh DOT3 type fluid, change the fluid frequently (every 12 months, for example).
It's the one I'm working with right now. Among other things, my ST is equipped with two 350mm rotors, RS Brembo brakes, and Velossatech cooling ducts.

The first time I ordered it, it was as a "5-pack. " "5" is a pack. Because Motul only makes 500ml bottles of this, I assumed I'd get 5, as stated in the title description and extended description. We got 3 in total. A refund was issued in order for the replacement to be corrected. When the replacement arrived, there were only three of them this time. What exactly was the problem? "500, 300. " says the title description. Is "ml, 5 pack" equivalent to "300ml x 5?" I'm not sure, but since the option for 5 says 5, and the item picture shows 5, it's safe to assume you'll get 5, not 3. In the photo, there are even five 500ml bottles. The part number from the manufacturer is a 5-digit number. Packing is also possible elsewhere, but it will be more expensive.
mind. When Motul's Automotive Manager, Joey Cabrera, was exhibiting at the Long Beach Grand Prix Expo about six years ago, he recommended this product to me. After descending steep grades in my pickup truck, I had several terrifying experiences with overheating brakes. I used to get the mushy pedal going to the floor as the fluid boiled before switching to Motul RBF 600. I haven't experienced any such loss of braking pressure since switching to Motul, even on the same road and under the same conditions as when I had a previous failure. After using this product successfully in my pickup, I decided to use it in my Corvette, Camaro, and Escalade as well. It's a low-cost insurance policy to protect you from a costly collision. Increases pedal feel significantly. Every two years, I try to flush and replenish this fluid. The only drawback is that the cost of living continues to rise.
This is what I use for all three of my race cars. People focus on dry boiling points, but it's important to remember that once you put brake fluid in your car, it quickly absorbs water vapor from the air, and the "dry" boiling point will only last a short time after the change. Because the Motul 600 has a high WET boiling point, I can change the fluid at the start of the season in March and use it throughout the season until October. During the winter, it's still fine, but I don't track during that time. Other brands, such as ATE Blue, required replacement every 60 to 90 days. With three track cars, 90 days is a lot to keep track of.
In my weekend toy/occasional race car, I use this fluid. In contrast to other racing-related activities, If you're not tracking your car, you can go a year between fluid flushes if you use specific brake fluids. As a result, in my opinion, it is the best fluid for a street car. In comparison to Bosch DOT 5, I see no disadvantages to running this stuff on the street. 1 fluid (this is a personal favorite of mine) For a daily driver, it's a bit too fluid). I've yet to encounter a situation in which this fluid was a limiting factor in my braking ability. Having said that, if you want a nice racing fluid to go with your o'reilly brand pads, stick with prestone. High-temperature fluids won't help you until you upgrade to true high-performance pads like g-loc, hawk racing pads, carbotech, and so on.
300ml bottles are not acceptable! You're perplexed right away When you receive your "5 pack-" order, you may be disappointed. "300ml bottles" is written on the box, but only three bottles are visible. It took me a second to realize that 3 pints / 15,000ml is the same as 5-gallon bucket. 300ml bottles, but I'm not sure how they could have gone so wrong with the description. br>br>As always, this is an excellent product. br>br>All that is required is for someone to put the bong down while writing the description.
This brake fluid has the highest wet boiling point, making it ideal for street cars as well as cars that see track or autocross use on occasion. When I took my 545i to track days and autocross, I didn't notice any brake fade. Every two years, a new design is introduced. Spend the extra money on Castrol SRF if you're building a race car.
Perhaps the best street brake fluid on the market, but in my lighter-spec E92 M3 (3500lbs) with slightly better-than-stock pads, R-Brake is still the best option. It wasn't enough to have compound tires. br>br>I've never overheated this fluid on backroads before, but it was only good for 15 minutes. In 70°F weather, it takes 20 minutes. br>br>If this fluid wasn't advertised as a 'racing' brake fluid, I wouldn't be so harsh on it. It's a great deal for'sporty' cars that don't require extreme driving.
My brakes take a beating, and since switching to this product, I've had no brake fade issues! Purchase a bottle and replace it once or twice a season (or more if you're racing) to ensure you're using the best brake fluid available. I seem to use about a quarter of a bottle per service, which includes a thorough inspection of the front and rear braking systems, as well as the hydraulic clutch.
