172 cup servicing

[LiamR172]

Hi folks, Planning on getting my mate to service the clio next weekend when he fits my brakes.

Which fluids are best? Is normal Renault stuff ok or am I better getting a more premium brand?

I'll need some brake fluid too, which is best for fast road/odd trackday? Super blue stuff alright aye?

Cheers

Go on eBay and fish brothers do them all at a reasonable price.

Thank you! I'll get a look in the morning.

On the other side of things, I ordered some Brembo HC discs and CLICK RC5+ pads so I'm looking forward to getting them on. Having had a quick look online it says the pas can cause alot of heat so some good fluid would be advised. Will the ATE superblue be ok?

I got superblue for my brembos. It has good reviews

I run my 172 on Fuchs Titan race pro S oil, but the standard Renault stuff is fine.

Brakes will be fine mate, ATM I am running Brembo HC discs/ RC6 pads with ATE superblue, good set up IMO.
As Dave says though you cannot buy ate superblue anymore, it only comes in gold now (same stuff though)

My next fluid will probably be Motul RBF600.
