if you use ATE blue and gold, you can tell when the old fluid is out of a line because it changes color. you show periodically change fluid.

All our customer cars get Castrol GTLMA and the race cars get Motul or the racing Castrol.

I use Motorcraft Dot 3. It has the same dry boiling point as the expensive stuff and only costs about $3.75 a bottle.

I have always run Super Blue. Brad, what do you think of this type of brake fluid?

That Castrol Syn-whatever is good......
in any event if you "maintain" your brakes, ie burp the fluid, or move some fresh brake fluid through your brake system , more than your average user you'll do fine.. |

We dont put the Super Blue in our personal cars, but I have nothing against it. We sell it to people who ask for it.
The new Castrol stuff (Not the GTMLA) has blown ALL the other brake fluids out of the water when it comes to WET and DRY boiling points.. nothing else even comes close (for now) B |

When I first started racing my car I still had the stock brakes.
My driving style is very hard on brakes and I could boil the Motul. When I switched to the Castrol that never happened. Now I have bigger brakes and still use the Castrol. My motto is "Don't brake until you see God". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) The Castrol has never let me down. |
