    Brake fluid motul rbf 600 any one using it?

    As per the title is any one using this fluid? I need something pretty serious but plan on changing a few things in the brake department so don't want to spend £30+ a lt for testing!

    I can recommend it , it made a big difference .
    Before using it when I got some serious heat into the brakes they went spongy as the fluid started to boil.
    I haven't had that at all since using it.

      Use Castrol SRF myself, always thought that was a good fluid.

            2 years if you use good fluid on a street car as per the Audi guide

            Castrol is good stuff but on a street car it's overkill and has to be replaced twice as often

                  Again not necessary, only required on the performance fluids where the hygroscopic properties of it mean that has to be changed that often.

                    All brake fluid will get Water (moisture) in it..

                      Yes I know, some are more hydrospocific than others how ever therefore absorb more water quickly and need replacing sooner such as the castrol!!!!!!

                          Yes the brakes works for sure, but lets face it:

                          The brakes are the most important thing in your car for safety in your own life ( and maybe others)!

                          For an normal mechanic with axle stands etc it is maximum 1H work on a car.

                          1h work that may save you 60 years?

                          i aint cheating...

                            I always notice a big improvement in the brakes after replacing just normal DOT5.1 fluid after 12mths
