Just get the big container, and save whatever you have left in the garage

Are you road racing the car and using the brakes enough to boil the fluid? Or just feel the need to change it out?

imho stay away from the silicones,
id get 2 qts or liters of ate super blue racing brake fluid and the next time use their gold and that way you can see the new when its flushed thru.

hawgman --

i learned that lesson the hard way coming down a mountain in NE GA in a vette http://www.gastateparks.org/info/amicalola/ stopped for some requisite boiled peanuts at the mountain view overlook, got back in the car the brake pedal went to the floor. about 2 1/2 hrs later that Sat., left it at carmax they looked at at Monday. nothing wrong just boiled the fluid.

...and about 3 wks later again at that driving school i went to in Alabama............................a little place called Talladega.

u r right, 97% of the time stock fluid is fine...the other 3%... it may save my life. i want the Crown Vic behind me to boil before i do. i'll never drive a muscle car without it. being able to stop is more important than being able to go.

i'm looking at Motul RBF 600 http://www.atvsupply.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=7720
