Just been looking at this on your web site how often would this need changing in a road car in your opinion and you say 2ltrs would do a full change?

Do you do a deal for PF members

Due to it's very high wet boiling point, 2-3 years - although the stuff in my car is considerably older and still works perfectly .

That already is a heavily discounted price .

Motul RBF in my 205 track car. Can't fault it in any way - especially price!

The brakes just get better and better stamping on them as goofy as I like whilst wearing slicks
