Newbie here, made my second road course day this past weekend, and boiled my brake fluid. What is the best fluid to switch too? I daily drive the car and plan on making a few road course events a year.
Thanks for the help.

amsoil or motul...theres not a lot of choices...just get dot 4 and get stainless lines while you are at it and flushing the fluid out anyways.

Castrol SRF. It's expensive but awesome. Check out the boiling points - wet or dry, it's close to 600 degrees.

How many runs and what duration? Did you lose clutch control as well? (assuming you have a M6)

No auto, about midway through the 4th 30 minute session.
I would like something that I don't have to replace regularly, (very low maintenance).
Thanks again

Low maintenance and high performance brake fluid don't go together. At a minimum you need to flush the system once a year. If you are tracking it, you should probably bleed the brakes after each full day or immediately when you have brake fade. Especially if you're doing 30 minutes sessions and hard braking. You'll know the fluid is bad by its color. I just flushed Motul and it turns almost black coming out.

I use wilwood RBF 600plus
Be careful to read the instructions on the brake fluid you upgrade to. Some say not to combine with other fluids.
Also, if you have a manual transmission, you need to get a separate reservoir for the clutch, the clutch dirties the brake fluid QUICKLY.
