Brake fluid

[AHP]

I have a track day coming up. Endless MX72 pads on the way. For fluid flush: Castrol SRF vs Endless RF-650...?

Endless

Why? Endless is more $$ so more better, right?

Can't go wrong with either. I have used both. Currently using Endless. Works well.

You'll fade those pads before the fluid goes.

Endless fluid is wild stuff. It has an insanely high boil point while also being able to stop water absorption. It’s one of the few fluids that you can run on the street and not have to flush out every few weeks/months, since it’s so good at staying dry. It’s used in F1 and many other pro race series.

Expensive yes, but you won’t need to flush the system as often as you would with some other fluids. For a street car that gives you the best of both worlds.

Great info, thanks!


I've read 1.5L for a full flush so planning on getting 2 to be safe. Sound right?

Using the Endless + Endless setup. Can't really go wrong with Castrol either. I went with the 650 since its top of the line high boiling point fluid and basically the go-to for track day enthusiasts and racers.

Pedal feel is lightyears better than stock.

Out of all of the stuff you buy to stay safe on the track- brake fluid is probably one of the cheapest and at the same time, most critical components. I track 3 times a month. It has worked amazingly well. I recommend. Buy something cheaper I am sure you will be fine.

He asked for opinions on two brands, i gave mine.

Maybe a little high but just get 2, you never know when you'll need more. I use Project Mu which comes in 1L cans and my local shop went through an entire can for a flush.

Loved ATE racing blue back when it wasn’t “illegal“ in Florida. Nice to be able to see the change in fluid color when you bleed em. Especially if doing it yourself . ATE is only a DOT 4 fluid but a huge step up from the factory DOT 3 fluid that comes installed. That being said, doubt anyone will complain about RF 650. Great stuff!

Here is a study that I came across.
