So I'm going to be putting the BWoody SS brake lines on my truck soon (thanks for the help Winston!) and I'm curious about the best street/track use Brake Fluid.

I've read through the stoptech article and I'm kind of even more confused.

I'm not sure what would be some good choices and is there a downside to using a really good fluid (Like Castrol SRF?). I know I need something made for ABS, and something thats DOT 3 or 4 approved, right?

Would ATE Super Blue be ok?

That should get you in the right direction.

TY Bill!!

I'm still curious about what's the best fluid to use, as far as a high performance street/track brake fluid. I guess the Valvoline is good stuff....?

I ordered some of this yesterday

Mototcraft brake fluid is known to be one of the best in the road racing community. A important note, never use fluid that has been opened, always use a new container and throw the left over away.

Really? Why not? Never heard this before . . .

Contaminated fluid can cause damage to the sensitive hydraulic brake
components during the bleeding process, corrode components and increase the likelihood of
system failure. Even unused fluid that was opened at an earlier time should not be used. Brake fluid
is hydroscopic meaning that it absorbs moisture from the air. This moisture degrades the properties of the brake fluid
So the biggest reason MOISTURE and yes brake fluid immediately draws in moisture like metal to a magnet

Good to know. Here I was saving all my 1/2 cans leftover from every brake job I've done thinking "I can use that next time . . ." I shall throw them away!
