- Motul RB 600
- Motul RB 660
- Castrol SRF

I'm leaning towards the Brembo HTC 64T as I've read good things but I'm worried why does it say not for street use and also don't use if yiu have magnesium parts. Also they never post specs but I believe they are the only fluid used by F1.

- As for the Motul read it needs to be changed very frequently snice it absorbs moisture quickly.

- ATE read great things but also read only good for street.

- Castrol SRF read great things but also it's over rated for the price.

I'm open to suggestions
Last year I used motul 660. which I did not like. lots of soft pedal action. ( This could have been my fault with bleeding and or over braking)

This year I plan on trying the Brembo HTC fluid. I mean F1 uses it so

I'm not sold yet on the SRF at that price point.


Edit: Pretty much all the fluids you listed will need to be changed out more frequent due to absorbing more moisture. I would say if your not tracking your car you shouldn't need the fluid.
