Default Brake Fluid for a Road Course

Looking at upgrading the brake fluid to a higher wet/dry boil temp for a road course. Does anyone have any suggestions, recommendations?

Also how much should I get to ensure a good flush. Thanks.

Just stick with whatever is spec’d for your brake system. To change fluid to DOT5, for example, you would pretty much have to replace the entire brake system because you won’t get all the old fluid out and you’ll end up gumming the brake lines up and causing a bunch of problems.

If your brake fluid is boiling then you need brake rotors & brake pads that dissipate heat better.

Get some ATE Super blue,good balance of wet and dry boiling points, dot3 ,blue in color so you know when you have all the old out when flushing .takes about 3 cans to do a whole car,you will have some left over. It also comes in red so when you change next time ez to see when all old is out. Get it at pegasusautoracing.com.
