Thinking about flushing the brakes before DBR.

First off, how much am I going to need to flush the whole system (gravity flush per the stickies...thanks Bill for the instructions)?

Heard good things about ATE Blue DOT 4, but should I just use Honda DOT 3? What are some other high-quality options?

 

If you are going to the track you must use DOT 4. Any brand will work. Do a full flush.

 

How much do I need?

 

i use ate super blue , i quart is more than enough , probably like half a quart , somebody pls correct me if i am wrong

 

Get a few bottles. You should bleed your brakes often if you track so you can never have too much fluid.

 

1 can of ate will do it.

 

DOT 4, buy two small bottles, don't forget to flush your clutch while you are doing it.

 

Got a DIY thread on that? I've never done it before. I searched forum 193 and didn't find anything in the stickies.

 

Superblue is good but Valvoline dot3/4 is about $7 / quart at advance auto its not far off:

Dry ERBP F 503
Wet ERBP F 343

ATE® Super Blue (DOT 4) has a dry boiling point of 536F and a wet boiling point of 396F.

 

Why would water ever been present in the system?
