Going to be flushing my brake system so I might as well put some good stuff in there. How much should I get in order to thoroughly flush the system then top it off? And what is everyone running?

 

i havent been on the forum long but i think that's a first.
just run some good dot-3. i use valvoline 601458. if you want really good stuff, there's castrol SRF, but that ****'s expensive

 

Flush and refill prob need 1.5-2qrts...prob closer to 1.5 if u have OEM system.

 

If you are going to do any heavy towing make sure to use a Dot 4 fluid, its not a bad idea to use Dot 4 anyway.

For most conditions you can use Wagner, Valvoline, etc brands. What you are most interested is the wet and dry boiling points, the harder you use the brakes, the higher these points need to be.

 

I'm running Valvoline synthetic.

 

Yeah SRF is 110$ for 33oz

 

ATE Super Blue in the truck. The color difference made it really easy to know when you are getting fresh fluid when flushing the system.

 

The problem with DOT4 is that is absorbs moisture faster than DOT3. Just something for you to consider.

 

I run DOT 4 Pluse motor vehicle brake fluid, its from my work for mercedes-benz. part number 000989080701. Good ****!!
