Cool MOTUL RBF 600 Synthetic DOT 4

Its that time for full system 1st flush & just bout a few 500ml of these & wanted to know if OK to upgrade from factory standard DOT 4 to this synthetic. I anticipate annual flushes from now on, thought should consider as just bought the braided stainless steel ES#2593424 brake lines.

I have some sitting on my counter waiting to go in my MINI. Came recommended by one of our local independent shops.

For a daily driver the RBF 600 is an expensive fluid and overkill for your needs. Now if you actually go to the track or do mountain runs it will be great, but you should change it more often. Most track day groups require it to be replaced every 6 months.

For the daily driver just pickup some synthetic Castrol or Valvoline brake fluid as a full liter bottle is less than half the motul.

For a Full blow track car I'd use the Motul RBF 660 as it has the highest boiling point.
