2. Caliper temperature is not the same as brake fluid temperature. Remember, as fluid compresses (placed under pressuer), it also increases in heat, and the caliper is partially sinking away heat from the pads. Generally you want to keep caliper temps under 250. If you get hotter than that, it's a sign that you have an inadequate braking system for what you're doing. Using ultra high temp brake fluid is one way of partially band-aiding that, which is really what you're doing with this fluid. Not everyone wants to get a BBK. |

Does anyone use Bloxygen or similar to protect partially used containers with brake fluid from moisture?

RBF660 v RT700.
After reading thread, two questions for CSG
A) with frequent and rigorous tracking, does the data suggest that RT700 require less frequent brake bleeding than RBF660 to maintain comparable performance ? And B) with RBF660 at approx $28/500 ml and RT700 at $34/500 ml, and less frequent brake bleeding; does RT700 result in lower cost per track day ? |

Am gonna give this a try since it's the same price as the RBF660 at my local fluids shop. The brake pedal is spongy after 2 track days on the RBF660.

I'm currently using Motul RBF 600 but am thinking about switching. How many bottles of this would be needed for a complete flush?

Has anyone done a comparison between this and Castrol SRF? I'm planning to flush my Motul RBF 600 soon and am kind of torn which way to go next.
On Amazon it looks like the Castrol is actually a bit cheaper per liter. With a wet boiling point of 518F, it seems like the better value. |

The old DOT5 SRF was amazing. The current "SRF" is great if you just want a performance fluid for street driving, but for something seeing a lot of heat where you'll degrade the fluid before it absorbs a lot of water, there are better options. |

Anyone know if this Torque guy died? I'm still waiting on my order from Oct 2015! He does not seem to respond to emails.
