How Much Brake Fluid?
I am going to change out my brakes to the Satisfied GS6 pads and I want to change out the fluid also to something like Motul with a high boiling point and not very hygroscopic. How many bottles, ounces, whatever do I need to change out the fluid? One bottle of Motul is a pint, Ford Racing fluid is 12.oz, and I don't know the brake system capacity of the Stang. I was thinking two bottles would get it done for sure, but my girlfriend is buying all of it for my birthday so I don't want her to buy two when I only need one.
Also, I just got my car back with the new radiator, the thing is huge/thick as heck compared to the original. I haven't drivien it yet but it looks promising. I will upload some pictures of it later. After I drive it around and see if I can notice any difference. |
Last time I changed my brake fluid I bought a 12oz and a 32 oz bottles. When I was done I had about one third of the 32oz bottle left over.

If you ask me you dont need motul but its your choice. Even at local parts stores they have DOT4 fluid you can buy. I can tell you to do the whole system it took a whole bottle of the largest size that my parts store had. It was 22oz. container to get the whole car bleed and the master bleed to on my car. I used the Valvoline DOT4 in mine.

Vavoline DOT4 fluid is pretty good. I think it has something like 500°+ boiling point. Regular Motorcraft DOT3 fluid is great too but the wet boiling point is lower, I think while the dry is up there.
|
Yea, one large bottle should be enough. Any brand name Dot 4 is going to be fine. I used castrol.

I was just wanting something like Motul, anything with a decent dry/wet temp. I know I will never push my stock brakes to really need a super high temp. fluid. Ok now I have an idea of how much I need, thanks.
