Motul 600, Castrol SRF, Valvoline _____, Ford HD (truck) DOT4, ATE SuperBlue, etc.

I know that Motul lists that you CANNOT use it with any other brake fluid, which means a complete flush and refill then bleed. Not sure if SRF is the same way, can't remember. The Valvoline and Ford stuff should be able to be mixed with others. Same for the ATE I think.

Default Both Motul 600 and Castrol SRF are DOT 4 fluids and compatible, ...

perhaps you were thinking of AP600?

Motul Specs are available <A HREF="http://www.motul.com/uk/produits/index.html">Here</a>, go to Specific Products - Brake Fluid.<ul><li><a href="http://www57.pair.com/lane/bfluid.htm">Brake Fluid Comparison</a></li></ul>

Default I love the Motul 600 on the track.

Actually, it's nice on the street too, but a little expensive. I vaguely remember reading something about it absorbing water quicker than some other fluids though -- indicating more frequent change intervals....I might be off-base on that though.

I had good luck with Valvoline SynPower on the street, and it's cheap. I don't like it at all on the track.

I heard that too... Its the DOT reading 5.1. I heard that 4.0 is good for very aggressive street and autocross.

Default Use SRF if you can afford to drain bleed and flush every 6 months, also may need to replace seals ..

But REALLY good stuff. If you boil this stuff you are using a LOT of brake on a very heavy car.

Default Nice set of wheels & S2 hood and lights

Ever see one of the 90's with a 2.7T bi-turbo in it.
