Castrol SRF for me generally considered the best fluid also has a high wet boiling point
$150 per litre it want to be good
Also had good results with padgid yellow pads

If I remember correctly Castrol SRF is DOT5 = SILICONE brake fluid.

Silicone brake fluid is not compatible with regular brake fluid which is glycol-ether based.

They react when mixed and can damage all rubber seals within the brake system.

To switch to (or from) Silicone brake fluid it is recommended to overhaul every component within the brake system and flush all the lines.

Castrol React Srf Brake Fluid | Castrol Australia | Brake Fluid - Car Products | Castrol Australia | Car - Motor Oil & Lubricants | Castrol Australia | Products | Castrol Australia | Castrol - Motor Oil & Lubricants | Castrol Australia



It is miscible with all conventional fluids meeting the US Federal Standards FMVSS 116 DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1, ISO 4925 and current SAE J1703. This means that changing the brake system to Castrol SRF is easy. Drain and flush out the conventional brake fluid with Castrol SRF then top up the system with Castrol React SRF Racing. Although Castrol React SRF Racing is miscible with conventional brake fluids, topping up Castrol React SRF Racing with conventional brake fluids will reduce the benefits of the product.

150 per liter. Damn. Expensive consumables. I generally bleed brakes every 1 or 2 track days. And i pushed trough a good 4-5 liters just trying to bleed the hydro up.

I ordered 1L of the motul 660. $39 per 500ml. I was nearly gonna get the Pmu stuff aswell as thats got even higher boil value again. But ill see how the motul goes first. I dont think i will boil that stuff to easily.

Ebay.

Its probably gonna take 3 weeks to arrive and probably knock off. Probably take SCA brand brake fluid, put it in fake motul bottles and charge 500%
