Millers brake fluid

[dan_b]

Anyone using this stuff, from the specs it looks excellent in terms of dry boiling point - would probably need changing fairly regularly, but that's a really high dry max temperature:

Millers Racing Brake Fluid 300 Plus

Equilibrium Reflux Boiling Point - Above 300°C (310°C typical)
Wet Equilibrium Boiling Point - Above 194°C
Kinematic Viscosity at –40°C - Below 1750cSt

£20/litre from Millers, so more expensive than other Dot4s but not as expensive as Castrol SRF...

Yes, thats what has been in mine since the 996's went on.
Not had any issues.

Used that stuff in the S2 and also run it in the Golf too

I Use Bendix DOT 5.1 ! No problems with it!

It looks to me like it absorbs water fairly quickly leading to a fairly quick reduction in wet boiling point - how often are you changing the fluid with the Millers stuff? It is a very high dry boiling point.

I change my brake fluid every 12 months anyway just to be sure...

Only had the fluid in around 6 months and all is well

Mines been in since last June. No issues with it.
I know you track the car now and again Dan, I don't, so can't comment on how it would behave in those conditions. But then I can give mine a bit of stick now and again.
My car flew through it's test last month, tester asked me WTF brakes are on the front, so I assume all's well in the braking department.

I had this stuff in when i tracked my S2 with the 996's on and never got them to fade. Brake pedal feel did slightly change but a quick bleed and all was back to normal, given it was a full day on the track.

Cheers,

Must be good, I can't get the brakes to fade either. 150-30, no problems
