Endless RF650 brake fluid

LANDFILL · 02-23-2023, 04:27 PM

Wanted to check before I used.

Is this fluid acceptable for these cars? I've heard DOT 5 is to be avoided, where this fluid "meets or exceeds" DOT 5 specs.

There's two types of DOT 5.

DOT 5.1 is compatible with 3 & 4.
DOT5 is silicone based and is not to be used.

I use the Endless in my '22 SS 1LE

Endless works best for me and I have tried just about everything

Thanks for clarifying

Better safe than sorry

I've heard the same from others. Ran SRF for years in my BMWs but recently heard about a few track buddies switching to endless and loving it..

I've only run SRF, but I've been thinking about giving Endless RF-650 a try. On paper, it can't match the wet boiling point of Castrol SRF and the two are relatively close on dry boiling point. That said, one of the Porsche guys at the track last year was telling me the Endless absorbs moisture more slowly than SRF, so stays toward that dry boiling point rating longer than SRF. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that statement though.

Endless is better than SRF. Can't go wrong with SRF, Endless, or Brembo 64T.

How much total fluid do I need for a full flush?

1L but good idea to have 2L on hand

I’m about to do my 3rd season on the same flush of SRF. Did it in Germany on Nurburgring with not even a premonition of brake fade. 15 days total over 3 years. Looking forward to same results with the Camaro.
