Can I use this fluid?

Post by Ben Lam »

Hi people, I know some of you guys using Motul Brake fluid. I would
like to change my Dot. 4 brake fluid to Motul 5.1 Or Motul 600.
Which one is the best for our car?(or My legacy turbo) and how many I
needs?
Thanks for help!

fine, if no one else wants to touch this one...

Do not switch to anything above DOT 4 if you plan on using this car for a
daily driver. DOTs 5 and above REPEL water (DOTs 3 and 4 absorb it). Brake
fluid can absorb a bit of water before it becomes useless, but if you were
to use a DOT 5 or 6, as soon as you take on water, your brakes get shot to
hell. Buying the stuff that the dealer sells is good enuf, but if you want a
little extra oomph, pick up some "Super Blue Racing" I can't remember who
it's by, but it's damn good if you use your car as a daily and take it to
the track on the weekends.

Either that, or i'm full of $#!t, and no one needs to pay any attention to
me. =)

Jason

Thanks Jason, you info is very helpful!
But I just order a Liter of Motul(-n-)... guys better reply eailier!!
But I sometime use the car for Rallying, so I think the Motul 600 is
good, because one of the Canadian Subaru Rally driver (Tom McGee) and
his Machanic (who fix and repair his Subaru Factory Rally Car in NA)
use this brake fluid so I think I find to us??!!!!

I had vey good results with DOT5 silicone fluid when I used it in a
Kawasaki kz1000
harder brakes ect. and was told that as it does not hold water the
calipers and cyl would last a lot longer, But on the downside I had
troubles when I attempted to use it in a Subaru coupe and was told
that the system should be disassembled and cleaned as the two fluids
do not mix well.
