I've heard Motul 600, and ATE Super Blue Racing.

From what I know the Motul is good stuff for race cars, but absorbs moisture quickly making it a fluid that you have to change out often and its expensive.

I hear that the ATE Super Blue Racing is a good fluid for a street car.

Any input?

Also, I'm trying to buy 44K fuel injector cleaner and break fluid both on-line and would like to do it at the same store for simplicity sake. Can anyone suggest and on-line store with both products?

Ok.....for BRAKE fluid I like using any of the new DOT 4 fluids, I think the last time I changed mine I used Prestone brand. This stuff is super heavy duty, has a very high boiling point.....I use it in everything I own, now.

Damn me, Malachi....I couldn't resist!

Motul 600 is fine for street cars. It's what Dave at KD Rotary puts in. I had my brake fluid flushed and refilled about 2 years ago. The brake fluid is still a nice amber color, and hasn't turned brown. I take that as an indication it hasn't been contaminated.

Color of the brake fluid is only a partial indication of it's condition. Brake fluid readily absorbs water, water lowers the boiling point and encourages corrosion in the brake system. Water in the fluid won't show up with it's color.

As brake fluid ages it changes color. This excerpt is quoted from The Car Connection online maintenance guide:

: Brake fluid is light yellow when new. But as the fluid absorbs water, it becomes a dark, muddy brown. Brake fluid absorbs 2 percent water over a one-year period under normal braking conditions. This is an important fluid and should be changed every other year. On many cars with manual transmissions, brake fluid is also used in the clutch reservoir."

So there.
