Anyone running PBR BR600 Dot 4 fluid?
Or a DOT 5 or 5.1 fluid?
Any feedback on performance likes/dislikes corosion probs etc.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Craig.

I use to run Motul dot 5.1. No problems, apart from the fact it would boil at the track.
These days I run Motul RBF600, which I believe is a DOT 4 fluid. No issues, pedal feels firm even after a track day.

Using this in my Corvette/PBR conversion. No issues other than that it is more hygroscopic - which means you must religiously change the fluid every 12 months or risk accelerated corrosion from moisture in the system

I thought the recommended fluid is DOT 5? Isn't it?

I believe DOT 5 means silicone-based fluid, I''m not sure if it's compatible with our cars, but it doesn't mix well with other types of fluid, so you have to use it exclusively (i.e clean flush).
I know DOT 4 and 5.1 seems fine for our cars.
