    HI
    I was trying to find super blue in town but I am unable. A local race shop has Wilwood hi temp brake fluid for sale. He told me that the Porsche gays use it for track events.
    Does anyone know if it is compatible with the Mini fluid? I would like to change my brake fluid before I leave for the Dragon. I only have today and tomorrow to get it done.
    Here is a link to the web site

    Wilwood High-Performance Disc Brakes - Brake Fluid & Assembly Lube

    Also how much do I need to do a complete flush?

    Thanks

    Yes it will be compatible. Since you are going to flush it through it really is a non-issue. A quart should get the job done.

    Wonder what kind of fluid are the straight Porsche guys using? ;)

    I use the superblue and alternate between that and the ATE Typ 200, which is the same as superblue, just without the blue dye.

    I'll probably bump up to the Motul 600 for my next DE as I cooked the ATE at my last event when I was really starting to push myself.

    This is what I do too. For me the ATE has worked well.

    The wilwood fluid is good stuff. Def use that. It's a step up from Super Blue.

    Another vote for the Wilwood brake fluid. I've been using it for years now with great results.
