How Much Brake Fluid?

Post by Gayno » Mon Jul 09, 2012 4:04 pm

When I get my new pads, going to replace all the fluid in case it got boiled!

Should I upgrade to 5.1?

How much will I need?

IMO get a good super DOT 4. Something like:

Motul RBF 600 (500ml)
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-894-motul-r ... fluid.aspx

or
Castrol React Performance Dot 4 (1L)
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-742-castrol ... fluid.aspx

2 litres will be enough with some left over to do your clutch fluid.


I have heard good things of the Motul RBF 600, although I use the Castrol React Performance Dot 4 and have never had any problems.

Oilman (from OpieOils) did a nice writeup on PUK covering the basics of brake fluid http://preludeuk.forumup.com/viewtopic. ... =preludeuk I dont know if it made it over here.
