I have tried before to work out which is the best of the available brake fluids, and I made no progress!
I thought it would have been easy, look at the boiling points and work out which offers the highest and buy that...but when I looked at Motul Dot 5.1, it had a dry boiling point of 270 degrees, and a wet boiling point of 185 - the Elf stuff that Reno dealerships use has a dry boiling point of 280 and a wet of 178, so only a few degrees different?!?
I don't get how the Motul fluid can perform better when the figures are pretty much the same - or am I missing the point?
The thing is, I really need new fluid after boiling mine at my last trackday, but I just can't work out which one to go for and why!
Sorry to be no help Cue! :lol:

same quandry as me by the sounds of it, although mine doesn't need changing, it will be done with the new pads etc.
