Dear Mr. Blank,

Thank you for contacting Scion.

We apologize as we do not recommend or assist with modifying our vehicles from the original factory specifications.

Scion's warranty covers repairs and adjustments needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship of any part supplied by Scion.

Modifications to your vehicle could affect the performance, safety or durability, and may violate government regulations. Non-Genuine Scion Parts, or any damage or failures resulting from their use, are not covered by any Scion warranty.

We would recommend using the fluid below for the brakes in your FR-S:

FMVSS No.116 fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid

If you have any further questions or comments, call us toll free at 1-866-70-SCION, Monday-Friday 5am-6pm PST and Saturdays 7am-4pm PST.

Customer By Web Form (Mr. Blank)05/10/2014 06:55 AM My question is what affect on my warranty would changing my brake fluid to a DOT 6 brake fluid have? I would like to have better than stock brake fluid in my vehicle and the service contact at the dealership suggested that it might impact my warranty should I change my brake fluid."

I like to do my research first and the recommended DOT 6 isn't to be found. I still wanted to know what Scion's thoughts were.
