I can supply an alternative (the one that Gary uses in his Evo and I use in my beantin), but sadly can't help you that quickly!

whats srf?

Physio

Castrol SRF brake fluid - it has a higher boiling point

Moondust_crust

is that like a silcone based fluid like the classic car people use so it dont damage your paint, or am i barking up the wrong tree.

Ginge !

dont srf take on ALOT of water,,,,,,, hence the use of stuff christian uses

do you enjoy regular fliud changes,,,,,,,,, serious question btw

Physio

Moondust_crust I think you might be thinking of something else.

ginge Not sure about it taking on alot of water tbh

Do i like regular brake fluid changes?... Hmmmm ... NO

But if it's gotta be done then so be it

Christian - what do you use then mate?

Yes, it is a fact, SRF is highly Hydroscopic. Competition don't go any longer than 2-3 months without changing it, making it HIGHLY expensive.

This is a very high performance Dot 4 brake fluid designed to perform at the extreme temperatures generated under race conditions.

It is a strong competitor for Castrol SRF.

It is noted that SRF is one of the best brake fluids available, but its major downfall is that it is very Hydroscopic, which means that it takes on moisture very easily. This results in the need for it to be totally changed every 3-4 months for optimum performance.

710 is far less hydroscopic, so can be changed less frequently. It also boasts a Dry Boiling Point figure in excess of 300°C, just like SRF.

Price is Ł10.99 per 1/2 Litre (around 1.5 - 2 litres is needed for a complete fluid change).
