Brake Fluid Castrol vs Motul

[Smee]

hello

ok after finding the brake fluid name i wanted i now have a problem getting hold of it lol

basically here are the options.

1) Motul RBF600 (Cant get hold of yet im looking around but norwich is shite)

or

2) Castrol Responce Super Dot 4

what is the castrol like or should i just wait till i get the Motul?

surely there both better than standard liquid

Also how much do i need to clear the system and then top it up is 0.5 litre enough?

You'll need about 1.5 litres to do a full bleed. The Motul stuff is very good, not sure about the Castrol. But it will only make a difference if you are regularly track daying the car and therefore over-heating the fluid, in which case you should be changing the fluid more often anyway. Otherwise just make sure it's Dot 4 or Dot 5.1 (not Dot 5). You won't notice a difference in how the brakes feel between different brands...fresh fluid always feels better, whatever the make
