Only 2 fluids to use Castrol SRF which is a fortune! or Motul RBF 600. Castrol has the best wet and dry boiling point but you need to change it every year, Motul is almost just as good but is a little more robust and a lot cheaper.

I use the Motul in my car.




You can get them both from opie oils.

Hi,

Rstoughy- save yourself some money.

ATE Super Blue, will do all you need and
a lot more, for a lot less money.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

The Gorilla is right... once again
I bought my CSL with the ATE Super Blue in her brake veins and when I fitted
the Porsche BREMBO brake calipers I changed the fluid for fresh ATE SB.
No problems what so ever after 3 Ring trips (89 laps so far) Spa, and numerous UK TDs.
It's a win win
