I want to pick up a few bottles of Motul Dot 5.1. I know where I can order it online but Im wondering if anyone knows of any places around here that sell it.

UNFORGIVEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just like John said higher boiling point. Its a pretty nice brake fluid for road racing and Im seriously toying with the idea of taking the car up to Sebring for the Porshe events. If you went and ran Sebring or any course for that matter where youre constantly on/off the brakes for an extended period of time your fluid will boil and your brakes will begin to fail.

www.inlinefour.com has it for $10 bucks a pop and thats a pretty good price for it.

So no one here knows of any shops that sell Motul brake fluid? Come on theres got to be at least one bike shop or race shop here that sells the shit. What about ATE Super Blue?

hey bill I use valvoline syntec brake fluid meets and exceeds dot 3 and 4 wet and dry boiling points they lasted a 35 minute event speeds were 20-70mph each turn was accelerate hard brake hard accelerate hard brake hard no signs of fluid boiling at all after i was done i pulled over the brakes were just billowing out smoke from each of the wheel wells and continued to smoke for 45 minutes id really consider this stuff before having to replace your lines for a silicone based fluid.

Thats what Im currently running now but Ive heard such good things about Motul I figured Id give it a try. Oh and Motul is synthetic but not silicon based in fact its incompatible with a silicon brake fluid.

Lowrdjetta95 where did you get ATE Super Blue at? Online or locally?

Come on people there has got to be one among you who knows where I can pick up a few bottles locally!!!
