Hi Matt - can you help me understand brake fluids better?
I have a pretty much stock 2007 BFII FPV Super Pursuit ute with the Brembo 6 piston calipers on the front and the (pbr?) single piston calipers on the rear. I'm doing a tuning/track day at Barb's raceway in a couple of weeks and want to flush and replace my brake fluid, as advised by most here. First question; what is the spec of the standard factory brake fluid used by FPV? Secondly; what is the best brake fluid you stock for occasional circuit work and 'spirited' street use? I have to admit, I'm very confused... Do I need DOT 4, 5 or 6? Mineral, synthetic or silicone?? What does it all mean? Cheers in advance, Joe.
