Brake Fluid Question

[abcent]

Just a qiuck few questions:

1: What colour is the Motul SBF600 fluid?

2: how much will I need for a fluid flush?

3: anywhere I can get it cheaper than $30 per 500ml bottle (Autobarn price)

cheers

no-one's ever used Motul brake fluid before?

Without walking out to the shed... From memory its a redish colour, you will need 1-2 bottles for a flush (someone else will need to confirm that one) I guess you might get it for $25 if your lucky. Dude it aint that much hey, the time and mone you waste looking for it... Maybe just ask your mechanic if he can get it for you at trade price?

Figured I'd probably need 2 bottles.

I can get trade price, but no trade outlets sell Motul (that I know of).

Main thing I wanted to know was colour...hard to tell when your fluid has been fully flushed out if the new stuff is the same colour as the old.

maybe i'll use whats left over an change the clutch fluid

Unique autos and JustJap in sydney both sell it for $25. The Unique auto guy reakoned i'd need two bottles. I'll be doing mine this weekend thanks to this forum Fluid flush info link

you'll need 2 bottles and it's RBF600 not SBF. it's a light golden/reddy/browny colour. I woldn't stress over $30 a bottle. cheapest you will find is about $25.

I have done a full flush with 500ml before but to be thorough I normally use about 600-700mls. Annoying isn't it.

You do realise that hard core brake fluid is even more hydroscopic than the normal stuff and needs to be changed much more often.
