- What's the best brake fluid to run these days? Wilwood Hi-Temp 570, Wilwood Exp 600 Plus, Motul 600, Castrol SRF (expensive)? Thanks for any suggestions. Allen

- I saw a comparison of temps these all handle. Seems like the Motul is the best price/perfomace option. Chuck [demime 0.99d.1 removed an attachment of type text/x-vcard which had a name of chuck.arnol

- I want to ask if anyone has used Castrol SRF brake fluid? I have been using AP550, but want to kick the dry boiling point up a notch. Is there any problem with seal life? I see SRF at the CART and A

- I think the biggest disadvantage to DOT 5 is its compressability at higher temperatures. This is why most people in the racing world do not use DOT 5. There are several warnings about using DOT 5 in

- Here is my basic rant about DOT4 vs DOT5 - it's from a racing/high performance slant, not concours or preservation. If you don't want to read through it all, there's a summary at the end. An even ter

- Chris K. sez: DOT 5 silicon fluid does not adsorb (adsorb should be the correct word - not absorb) much water, unlike DOT 3 or 4 (which has a max of ~5-6% adsorbtion, if I remeber correctly). Water i
