Unless you change your brakes every year or second year, I get the questionning, but if like me a set of brakes lasts you a good 4-5 years, I wonder why you would use anything other than what is recommended.

I used to love it when ATE had the blue fluid. Would make changing the fluid a breeze. Gold one time then blue the next time. Stop flushing when fluid changed color. Ahh the good old days. .....

I think they still sell it in blue in other countries, it is just a US thing. Apparently kids might mistake it for blue Kool Aid. Overall a decent fluid, certainly good enough for the street.

While we're at it - does brake fluid still peel paint almost as fast as MarHyde?

Other fluids bad for paint ? Thanks,

Yes, brake fluid is still extremely damaging to paint. I can't think of other fluids that are as bad - oil pretty much wipes right off, as does coolant, but brake fluid will make metallic paint look dull and hazy pretty quickly so you need to protect it whenever working with brake fluid. I lay a plastic bag over the fender as a barrier then put a rag or towel on top of the plastic bag to absorb anything that drips when I'm working around the brake fluid reservoir.

I used this. ECS showed ATE as option for the 997.

Although you already purchased some new fluid I just wanted to add my experience.

+5 Motul RBF600 fluid ... I am aggressive driver, canyon runs regularly and 1/2 dozen track days per year.... Change brake pads/rotors every 15-20k miles or about every 2 years. After having a couple of boiling brake fluid moments at the track using the original Porsche oem fluid, I switched to Motul RBF600. No boiling issues ever since and pedal pressure stays consistent throughout the entire track day.

Motul RBF600 for street cars. Just change it appropriately.

All my track cars have Endless. Stuff is awesome, used to use Motul RBF660, Endless is better.

For track use Motul RBF600 or Competition Motorsport Racing Brake Fluid (Rennlist sponsor). Both are excellent. Although Castrol SRF has amazing boiling points, we find the pedal feel is not quite as firm as with the other mentioned fluids. Small point that many may not even notice, but worth mentioning.

For street use our standard fill is ATE 200 with great results.

Choice is simple: Motul RBF660 or Castrol SRF
No matter street or track...

Absolute nonsense

I have found RBF660 more sensitive and it has to be changed every track day for best results. Thats even running every 6 weeks or so. I felt RBF600 or Castrol lasts much longer. I have RBF600 in the wifes 997S daily, I have Endless in the track cars.

For a daily driver 997.1 C2S, are there any special procedures when switching over from the stock fluid? What color is the Endless? If not different from stock/amber, can it be dyed?

Maybe in NA.
