Hi all, Thsi was sent by a friend and says I can flush out the current Dot 3 and run this Motul racing fluid that pretty much is a Dot 4...straight flush:)...anyone have any thoughts?, I plan to call Frank at Driver's Edge on Monday and ask him. Motul RBF600 is probably compatible with your existing fluid. It doesn't like silicone and mineral-based fluid. Compatible with glycol-based fluids (most DOT 3)

Ah hell, why not just head on down to Lordco and pick up some DOT4 or DOT5.1?

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Because we don't want to have to replace calipers/rebuild, replace lines, possibly master cylinder, from what I understand Dot 5 conversions require pretty much everything to be taken apart and either rebuilt or cleaned the hell out of. I spoke to a couple people and they say Dot 4 for the most part is compatible with Dot3. I personally don't know enough about it to fully comment on it, as frankly I have never seen a need for anything beyond Dot3 even with my driving habits. |

The Motul apparently can be transfused in:)

I just want a step up to DOT4, I have not hammered the brakes on the track as much as I want/need to...need to "Squeeze" more...lol, and trying the Raybestos Professional pads, I may check out those track pad's I posted about next year.

I was just in Lordco (On Edmonds). Although they have some, I would strongly suggest waiting until at least tomorrow to buy them, as the Edmonds Show 'n' Shine is currently blocking off the whole street. |

Lordco had RBF 600 or was it their DOT 4?, I will call and get a price, and if Metrotown has it, open late

I know they had DOT4, I don't know about the RBF 600.
