so i am installing the JBT BBK tomorrow on my car....removied pads, calipers, rotors and lines and replacing everything...with that being said my brake system fluid should be flushed out....so is it worth it to go ahead and upgrade to dot 5 brake fluid?? or stay with stock?? correct me if im wrong but our cars take dot 4 brake fluid correct??

 

Our car takes dot 3/4..... I say stick with 3/4.

also dot 5 does not mix with dot 3/4

 

right which was my question since the whole lines will be flushed....since im changing the lines to stainless steel.

 

Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid DOT 3 4... i think thats the name... thats what im using

 

Stick With Dot 3/4 Because 5 Is Highly Syntheti, And Our Cars Master Cyclinder Si Meant To Be Used With Dot 3/4

 

This Is What I Was Told.

 

ok thanks!!! I will do that...who sells the Mogul dot 4 brake fluid? i know autozone and o'reillys dont...already called to find out.

 

you can try your local bike shop they might have it. i got mine on ebay for pretty cheap

 

yeah i will check..i am getting my BBK installed tomorrow night and dont think i can get that brake fluid to my house tomorrow.....im not sure of to many bike shops around me...are you meaning like a yamaha or something??

 

Valvoline synpower dot3/4 will be fine and found at all the local autoparts stores. Unless you are a hardcore track junky, you won't fade your brakes on the street anyways

 

so i can use this kind and it will do the same?? If thats the case...

 

whatever u do, DONT use Dot 5. it's silicone based and will not be good for yr system. correct me if i'm wrong here. i've been told to flush more often if u use rbf600 since it's more of a track fluid. i'm sure the brake experts will jump in if i'm not correct. i'm about to swap my lines out and bleed also...just lazy right now. did u get yrself a bleeder or will u use the old 2-man brake pedal pump method? good deal on the bbk btw!

 

btw, i will be using motul's 5.1 fluid

 

yes, it will be fine, and it has the highest BP out of all the OTC brake fluids. Prestone DOT4 also has similar values, so if you find instead, go ahead and use it

 

so what do you recommened i get?? my brakes are going onto tomorrow..i am needing to get some brake fluid....yes to your question above the 2 man method....but i am having German over at GS motorsports do them for me.
