Title: Brake Fluid ... Which One? Post by: Antoni0_23 on March 06, 2009, 10:17:15 PM Hey guys me again. I got back home from college only to see that my brakes weren't installed yet ... So I'll be getting the job done tomorrow and I was wondering which brake fluid should I buy regular Dot3 or 4 or the Honda brand? Also how many bottles will it take? Is there a high performance brake fluid that will not mess up the components or any sealing of the system? Thanks again!

Title: Re: Brake Fluid ... Which One? Post by: rocketstarter on March 07, 2009, 12:50:25 AM ATE Superblue or TYP200 all the way. I won't use anything else on my cars. Excellent wet & dry boiling points and hydroscopic nature. Plus it's colored so you see when new fluid is coming out.

If you are willing to bleed the brakes often, I heard the Ford Racing stuff ain't bad. I know of a couple of road racers that really like it. It suck up moisture pretty quick in those conditions, thus the frequent bleeding. Title: Re: Brake Fluid ... Which One? Post by: Antoni0_23 on March 07, 2009, 07:53:28 AM Thanks for the replies guys. I think I might be going with the ATP Blue or with the Honda one. If so I know that 1L of the ATP should be enough (right?) but if I were to buy the Honda one which comes in 12oz bottles how many I should buy? Thanks! I'd say it'd be about 3-4 12oz bottles right ?

Title: Re: Brake Fluid ... Which One? Post by: Antoni0_23 on March 07, 2009, 01:43:10 PM Thanks! I went with the Honda OEM one. I already installed the whole system so pics will be up in about an hour.
