Endless rf650

I really want to use this break fluid because my breaks were heating up pretty fast in the last event I went to. There was a fellow Evo owner that used it and it was GREAT. A Ferrari technician that was at that event told me this break fluid is so strong that it will ruin the seals in the break system. He also said that he used to be in a racing team and they used this brake fluid in there race car so its too strong for my car. Is what he's BS or is he right? And if he's right can someone explain to me why.
Thanks

Its spelled brake, not break.


With that said, it shouldnt be any more corrosive than Castrol SRF (also a good fluid) and motul. With these high boiling point fluids, you will have to bleed your brakes often, and do full flushes of the system more often as well.

I use RF650 in my race car and have had no issues other than excellent and consistent braking. I used Motul 600 and had to bleed every event. I have three events on the RF650 with no boiling.

I saw a graph somewhere that an independent company did testing the high range fluids and found the endless 650 to have the best compressibility even more so then SRF so go for it.

We run the GS610 in our time attack car and have never had a single issue. Best part is its about 20bucks a bottle. Its run by many of the IRL guys along with ALMS teams.

Here is a chart showing most common brake fluids.

We usually bleed the brakes before each track event. No reason not to since the Gs610 is so cheap.

I use the RF650 on a BMW road race car and the evo( mainly auto-x) and I absolutely love it; flawless repetitive performance with no boiling so far.
