are there any suggestions to recommend for a type or brand of brake fluid change for a 360?
I just had my brake system overhauled including StopTech lines and Motul 5.1 Synthetic. I notice approx 25% braking improvement with the flush and stainless lines..feels like Brembo brakes should. Motul 5.1 is intended for street and track use as it has a high boiling point. Can't go wrong..
ATE Blue is a good street use fluid and widely available, but any good DOT 3, 4, or 5.1 fluid will work fine. Big thing is to change annually to get rid of the water the fluid absorbs. Bleed the master cylinder, too.
I agree Terry but according to this article, paulie_b wont be able to use this in the state of Florida. For track and HP street use Dry boiling point 536F Wet boiling point 388F 1 liter bottle **Florida State Law Prohibts the use of BLUE brake fluid in vehicles registered for street use. Important Notes Product Description NOTE TO FLORIDA RESIDENTS ONLY: ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid, due to its blue color, cannot be registered in and is not DOT-approved for street cars in Florida. ATE Super Blue Racing High Performance Brake Fluid is designed to excel within the extreme demands made on a race vehicle and exceeds all DOT4 standards. It is compatible with and will mix well with most DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 fluids. The formula offers a minimal drop in boiling point resulting in a long-lasting fluid that may not need to be changed for up to 3 years under normal highway driving conditions. Products with a lower wet boiling point have to be replaced considerably more often (e.g., DOT3 products should be replaced annually). The overall high dry and wet boiling points make this fluid an excellent choice for street driven vehicles, too, where brake fluid is flushed less frequently than that in race-driven vehicles. Features/Benefits of ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid: Blue tint of fluid makes bleeding brakes easier Ideal for race use, excellent choice for street driven vehicles, too Boiling point minimum: 536 degrees F Wet boiling point minimum: 388 degrees F Viscosity at -104 degrees F: max 1,400 mm 2/5 Designed to last up to 3 years under normal highway driving conditions To maintain the functional reliability of brake systems, brake fluid must be changed according to the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer (quality and change interval). In race/track applications, it becomes even more critical that the brake fluid is routinely changed to maintain optimum performance. For race applications, vehicle owners will often alternate fluid flushes between ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid and ATE TYP 200 Amber Brake Fluid. The identical specifications of the fluid and color difference make it easy to know when the old fluid is completely flushed out of the system.
