Hey guys,

As the title says, I would like to know whats a good brake fluid for my car?

Im getting new fluid on my front and rear brakes.

Car is an Impreza R S MY06

Thanks!

Castrol Super Dot 4. perfect all rounder fluid around $11 for 500ml, so two bottles for a complete flush.

Any Dot 4 fluid will be fine. Just don't mix Dot 3 with Dot 4, they are not compatible.

Castrol Super DOT 4 > all

Dot 3, 4 and 5.1 can mix - thou 3 is really crappy outdated fluid now and absorbs moisture quicker, so it reduces the boiling point.
Dot 5 is silicone and fucks shit up if mixed with anything else.

Basically Dot 4 is cheapest and you'd be hard pressed to notice a difference.

waste of time really, for $11 a bottle of super dot 4 it is within 20 degrees of all the racing fluids.

you are better off changing the fluid after EVERY track day to get the most benefit, try doing that everytime with the $50+ fluids that do exactly the same thing.

I couldn't boil this stuff 180kph > 80kph of wakefield straight so i dont think you could

I run penrite SIN 600+ fluid in my subaru, and our workshop evo6 rally car, but i run the normal penrite dot4 shizzle in anything else

How much would it be if I get the flush done at a brake service place?

Any recommendations in melbourne?

Thanks!
