I am prepping for the Dragon run in a couple months. I have called EVERY local store and NO ONE carries ATE down here.
I DO however have an Amsoil dealer two houses down from me so I get all my oils from him, and I run pretty long oil change intervals. Was wondering if its worth ordering the ATE or getting the Amsoil when ever i need it.

I cooked my stock fluid on the last run, and I've had the same problem on some other events. Tried Valv Synthetic as well.

Tried searching and couldn't find much info on the Amsoil since its kinda newer.

 

Should be able to get Motul RBF 660 or 600 at any high end dealer, or I order online from Amazon-yea Prime

 

I have yet to use Amsoil 600 but I have put it in a few cars for track use and they haven't had problems with it. I just recently used my last bottle of endless so in a year or so I'll be trying it out. I'm not a fan of motul for the feel but it does a great job with taking the heat as does endless but it feels better and ate doesn't stand up to the heat as well as either of those two.

 

Are you sure you aren't just cooking the stock pads? The stock pads will go well before the fluid will boil.
I've got the Valvoline Synthetic in my car and have never had a problem with it.

 

In my experience at the dragon, you shouldn't be boiling fluid or glazing brakes unless you're simply using them too much. Ive taken a Dodge Journey through, having spirited mini cooper drivers pull over for me, and didn't have any issues with the brakes.

I will say that it's a good idea to change out your fluid if you haven't, but I highly doubt the fluid is the issue - its probably the brake pads.

 

SB FTW! All I'll use and the two colors really help during bleeding.

 

Just for more info

I run stock pads on the street and there's only a few places on the street where you have to watch the temps but even in those places I don't boil my fluid but I do start loosing my pads.
Pay close attention to where you're having issues with the fluid, more often then not it's after the drive and not during the drive.
Example: you'll do a run and everything will be fine but then the next run the brakes feel all mushy. That's because the fluid started to boil when you were stopped, the same thing happens to so many people at the track as well. If this is happening to you then just ease up towards the end of the run or end of the session to let the brakes cool down a bit. I cool my brakes down quite a bit and still see 800 plus temps, there's no fluid that's good for those temps.

If you're boiling the fluid on the run and the pads aren't fading then you just need a better fluid for the pad you're running. Stock Honda fluid will hold up to pretty closely to stock Honda pads.

There are some pads out there that are considered an upgrade pad but they're worse than stock pads, they'll fade then boil the fluid.

I'm no touge runner but I do enjoy the occasional drive here and there Auto x and Track is where I really enjoy the car.

 

I ordered the Super Blue, My bad for wording... had no issues on Dragon Itself. My issues were coming down the skyway. Guy radioed up to me saying he could smell my brakes cooking and when i pulled off s guy said my brakes were smoking. My pedal got very spongy as well. Running Hawk HPS and SOS rotors.

 

The pads may have been your problem, not sure what the skyway is though but I do have an idea of what the dragon is.

 

^+1

Everything I've heard about the HPS is that they're horrible, worse than OEM even
