Brake Fluids. NEED HELP!
Whether it is silicon based or not?
Whether it is mixable with other fluids?
Maybe if I was driving a Civic I would agree to just through any old fluid in there... But I am not...
you're kidding with this sentence right??
yes there is.. its called DRY BOILING POINT and WET BOILING POINT.. use the regular old fluid in road racing conditions and see how fast your pedal will sink when you brake... the caliper will heat up so much it will boil your regular fluid pretty fast..
and for the poster..
I use Super Blue ATE... in both brakes and clutch fluid line..
if you need a stronger higher heat resistant than this.. look for Motul RBF 600.

It says it has a 500*F dry boiling point. Seems pretty decent.

Is this something you can pick up locally?
You can pick it up at any BMW dealership, you might be able to get it at VW, Audi, or Porsche dealerships.
I use FORD HD fluid, close to the same Dry Boiling point as Super Blue ATE and 2 bucks per bottle.
dry/wet boil: 536/392
That is pretty damn good

I just don't feel like ordering brake fluid online...

Edit:
The Ford HD stuff seems like good stuff for track day... But its wet boiling point is pretty bad at 290.
