Ok, so DOT 3, 4 & 5.1 is Glycol based, and DOT 5 is Silicone based (thanks for the link WP) That would suggest to me that 5 is one to avoid yes?________________________________________ Rallye-RNurburgring article |

What if it's a completely new system, ie new clean pipes? Would you still avoid dot 5?________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

 It gives a slightly spongey pedal and you tend to find any water that does make it's way into the system sinks and sits in the bottom of the calipers... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

RBF 660, brilliant stuff and gets to silly temperatures without boiling. I think you need about a litre, maybe more if you still have ABS. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

All the boiling points are listed in post#11SRF ftw. It has the highest boiling point but that is only part of the story. It feels great too. Although it will absorb moisture over time and needs changing every 18 months. Worth it if you want the very best braking feel. |

Whilst the boiling points are a good guide, I would base a choice on peoples experience rather than figures. They're an okay guide but a decent fluid will out-perform a cheaper one any day; think of them as being like fuel consumption figures for cars - you can get a rough idea which car will do better, but different manufacturers have very different ways of coming up with these figures. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I used AP551? fluid, never led me down, good consistant pedal feel. Reasonably priced and comes in sensible sized bottles so you don't waste much if you don't use all of a container full.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

AP's fluid tends to give a firmer/more consistant pedal than even SRF, even if it doesn't do the same temperatures.RBF600/660 is good for the money though. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
