Only for normal road use. If you are doing track days, or live on your brakes or any sort of competition it ain't good enough.

its 5.1 there for fine for trackdays as far as i beleave. maybe wrong but been running stuff like this for years

High quality dot 4 fluid is better such as castrol super response

 

[TimR26]

I'd also go for castrol super response.

 

[rich_1989]

so castrol super response even for the odd trackday aswell?

 

[TimR26]

Yes, I've used it same fluid for two trackdays without any problem.

The DOT number means little. Just don't use silicone. The boiling points are what you need to worry about.

Castrol SR FTW.

The Carbone Lorraine brake fluid has the highest dry boiling point for any dot 4 fluid and is better than that motul fluid

Motul dry boiling point 270 °C
CL dry boiling point 325 °C

Motul wet boiling point 185 °C
CL wet boiling point 195 °C
