brake fluid for bbk setup

boz · 01-10-2013, 01:24 PM

The brake fluid in my AP front/rear BBK needs changing but I'm not sure which one I need. There seems to be quite a few different fluids out there and I'm not mechanically minded enough to choose between them (I was going to order online and go to my local indy to get the work done).

Seeing as many of you run BBKs on here, I figured this would be the best place to ask. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

If your require Brake Fluid with such
high temps then something is wrong.

Save yourself some money ATE Blue
not quite to SRF but for Road and Track
use, more than capable, plus some.

I use Castrol SRF on the CSL as my brakes run quite hot (as can be seen in the signature pic).
