Brake fluid ATE or MOTUL
I did some research before each purchase and tried to buy OEM- or OEM+-quality fluids and oils across the board. Motul RBF 600 Factory Line Dot-4 100 Percent Synthetic Racing Brake Fluid
I’ve got motul rbf600 in mine and it makes it a few months at a time so I don’t even worry about it now. If it feels fine it probably is fine
ate typ 200 because it sees snow and wet rallycross courses.
I use motul RBF600, I dont want to have to change my fluid as often as RBF660 requires but needed more than oem.
I primarily use TYP 200 because it provides the same level of performance.
On my C7, I moved up to the RBF 600 and it's been much better, handling the higher brake temps from the heavier car.
ATE is all I use in my Road Racing Vintage Car. Flush once a year, great braking, I'm in a Pinto that can outbrake most Miatas, it generates some good heating and the fluid does great, no complaints.
I've used ATE for 15 years and never boiled it at autoX.
I've been running the Motul RBF 600 in my C7 for track and autocross. I flush once a year. It works fine.
Ate 200 caused my master cylinder in my M2 Competition to squeak. Wound up having to re flush with OE low viscosity fluid then again with SRF. It's a known problem in a few cars.
