Hey,

What do you guys think of the Motul RBF 660 fluid, I'm upgrading to the stoptech rotors, hawk pads, and ss lines, and I'm going to flush the fluid too.

Is this a good fluid to get?

Also where is the best place to get it from, this stuff is not cheap.

that would depend on your purpose for the bbk. Fluids with higher boiling points also need to be changed significantly sooner as the absorb moisture much faster

 

gruppe-s.com

$28 for (2) 0.5L bottles. Free shipping.

 

Also how many liters do I need to do a flush like 3?

 

my stoptech 14" BBK came with this, and i kept it when i downgraded to (much less expensive) stoptech stage II. very good fluid, lots of technical reasons on why you would want to use it. would you feel it? - no, unless you autocross or track your car. no problems with using it either.

 

Maximum 3, It usually takes 1-1.5 bottles.

 

I just did a bunch of research on the this subject, getting ready to install my BBk. The Motul is awsome if you need the higher boiling point. The only problem is, it is very Hrdoscopic, meaning it attracts water very well. Moul reccomends changing at least annually, unless you bleed regulary, example every track day. I currently run it in my VFR and bleed and refill several times a season, with no issues. Based on my research, I went with ATE Super Blue, which reccomends changing about every three years. It iis also about half the price of teh 600. Several members are using Valvoline Synthetic with good results as well. It all comes down to what you are planning, for a street car, it is probably overkill and requires a little extra maintenance.

 

Do you thinkI should go with a lower fluid, or will I see/feel a difference with this.

I have not tracked the car yet, but probably will, and I do push the brakes alot.

 

for tracking, would you recommend the ATE Super Blue?

 

if youre going to use this fluid, be ready to bleed it more often than conventional fluid (like others have said above). i really dont see why u'd use unless u were tracking

 

Unless your wide open all of the time, you really won't see a difference betweein ATE, and Motul. The boiling temps are just about even. The ATE is about half the price of Motul.

 

anyone have a link of the fluid I should get then, I don't want to get a fluid I need to change that often

 

Tire Rack has one of the best prices I have seen on ATE Blue, or you could check some of the sponsors.

If you want the Valvoline Synthetic it is available at most parts stores. You will probably need at least 1 liter. I completely drained 1 liter when I put on my 4 piston calipers and braided lines.

 

So do you think I would be better off going with the ATE or the Valvoline, are they both as good as the stock fluid?

Sorry for all of the noob questions, but I don't know much about brakes.

 

If you do intend to track the car at some point, I would go with the ATE, for extra safety margin at high temps. Another nice thing about the ATE, is when it comes time to change it you can get the ATE TYP 200 Amber Brake Fluid, which has same properties as the blue, only difference is the color, that way you can tell when all teh fluid is drained.
