Performance brake fluid

Post by Nut124 »

Per advice from Steiny(?) - thanks, in a past topic, I finally replaced old brake fluid with Castrol SRF fluid. Bought 2 liters. Ended up using almost a full 1L. Used my old MityVac w/o any brake pedal pumping. Firm pedal after.

Track meet opportunity coming this Friday, if I could get off work. Brakes would be ready, I think, now. Tires not so much; 3-4yr old Nokian nLine summer tires.

Let me know if you feel any difference. It seams the brake fluid really should be changed/flushed every few years on these cars.
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

The car, brakes feel the same. This would only matter on the track or in extremely heavy, repeated hard braking, where my old fluid would boil causing soft pedal, loss of braking.

With the old fluid, I would have no brakes after a few hot laps, back years ago.
