Thanks for correction SMIKE_EVO, your thread on Brake fluid and Pads should be required reading at the "EVO Academy" I can get AMSOIL at the local parts shop vs driving across town.

Would you recommend a complete flush to change from Motul to AMSOIL?

If you have not flushed in a while you can flush the whole system. Fluids are mixable though.

Ive tracked my car 4 times already and i was using Amsoils Dot 4. I still have red brembos lol. I think amsoil has the hottest boiling point if im not mistaken when i bought them.

The Amzoil product is excellent, but I have used Ate blue and yellow on many track events as it is just easier for me to find and also has excellent qualities for track days. When bleeding brakes I would highly recommend the vacuum method where you can vaccum out the old fluid and then attach the vacuum to each bleeder. It eliminates any chance of air bubbles and ensures that all your fluid is fresh.

very true, we do have one of the hottest boiling points in our Brake Fluid 600

i've done a lot of track days at MSR MotorSportsRanch, and daily drive (at 110k miles now)
mere bleeding is all it seems to need to firm the pedal

I've used Motul, but the blue/amber sounds cool and reasonable $
