comma dot 4

[clidge]

hi guys i am getting my goodridge lines very soon just wondered if comma brake fluid dot 4 is any good for general road use and better than standard renault stuff many thanks

 

[edde]

It looks like its quite good never tried it myself I'd always spend the few quid and use the Castrol Super response stuff £11 or so it is for a liter. Its got a higher boiling point for starters.

cheers mate i only would use for everyday fast road use not any track work so will the comma do on a bit of a budget..will it be better than standard mate

I forget the spec of stock stuff I don't imagine the'd be much in it stock stuffg is infact very very good just noone realises it.

brake fluid is brake fluid the majority of the time, just bang some in.

So long as fluid is fresh your good to go.

A liter of what? Stock stuff £8 or so for a liter I think.

Yep stock dot 4 though.

which would you recommend mr edde stock or comma???

Thinking you'll notice some detectable difference in ordinary use between two brands of brake fluid is like thinking you'll notice the difference between two different brands of engine oil. Brake fluid is brake fluid. As long as its the product of a reputable company and meets the relevant technical standard it is brake fluid.

Having never used Comma I cannot say so I'd say stock as I know what its like then again I'd use the castrol super dot 4 response anyway.

I've used comma in the past and i've used castrol response .Like GordonD says , its like having 2 different kinds of engine oil , you can't tell the difference .

 

[clidge]

cheers guys so if i can get some cheap then i might as well go for that stuff? thanks again

 

[clidge]

also for normal fast road use can you change the fluid every 4 years?

I chnage mine ever 12 month or less depends how mnay miles/trpe of driving you do I'd say ever 2 years for most people on here is best and noticable.

cheers mate i never go on tracks or ever will and only really have a good go on the b roads in summer but other than that just standard 172 driving he he...i will change mine every 2 years but what do reanult say for there standard stuff thought it was 4 years?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

^^^ Your right . Renault do recommend every 4 years or 72k .Personally and for the sake of a tenner i change mine every 12 months usually .

 

[clidge]
