My 80 is in need of some brake fluid before I put it back on the road. Which is the best?

 

My dad and i... along with most of the other racers we know use Motul

 

For street driving anything that says DOT4 on it.

 

If you want something you can pick up anywhere get castrol GT LMA. If you wanna order it then motul is probably the best.

 

i second that remark!

 

Well, what about REGULAR daily driving. Not all of us race our cars.

 

I use the stuff from wal-mart or advanced. It all works fine for me.

 

Yeah i think motul just has a higher boiling point or something. If its a good amount more money, I probably wouldnt get it for street driving.

 

dealership...

 

I have good experience with Castrol GT LMA brake fluid. It is very good for street, and enough for attacking public mountain roads.

I recently noticed the Valvoline "Syntec??" brake fluid has higher boiling point than Castrol GT LMA.

Anyhow, you will never go wrong with Castrol brake fluid for street driving

Castrol is the official brake fluids in all my vehicles. They should give me a group buy discount.

I know of several SRX7 guys who use the Castrol LMA in their race cars with decent success. IIRC, this particular fluid is good for street car usage becuase it has a very low water absorption rate. Or something like that.

 

for every day use, i use valvoline synpower. it works fairly well. i use the castrol for my SE and my LS.

 

Talking about just the 80's models or 2nd and 3rd Gen also?

 

Valvoline Syntec brake fluid exceeds DOT 3 & DOT 4 standards, and is safe to mix with other fluids.

I just upgraded my whole brake system this weekend, and flushed out the whole system, and replaced it with the stuff.

Stll breaking in the brakes though.. (No Boost.. )
