changing my front rotors to c/d slotted, ceramic pads and steel brake lines but not sure about brake fluid. What kind of brake fluid is best for your car when u change ur braking set-up?
OEM from Acura dealership or something else? thanks in advance.

 

OEM is fine.

 

Use Castrol LMA DOT 4 fluid the factory stuff is garbage .

I used DOT 4 when I upgraded my brakes.

 

I like the ATE super blue brake fluid. With the color change (it's really blue), you know when the oil fluid is completely out of the system. The next time you flush the brake system you can switch to the clear stuff and then keep alternating them.

To head off your next question, here's a decent brake bleeding system:

I haven't used it yet, but every report I've read about it has been favorable.

 

Works great. I need to get the adapter for mine now.

 

Thanks for the info guys. Thanks again.

 

How much will you need to purge and refill the complete system?

 

I use about a 1 quart to fully bleed a system after installation of SS brake lines as an example .Castrol LMA is typically packaged in 1 quart bottles anyway .

cool, thanks Jens... I will pick some up when I go to do my brakes this weekend...

I bought the bleeding system that Greenmonster prescribed above, so hopefully everything will as planned..

 

Cool info, I'll get this when I get my brake lines on.

 

Yeah I looked at that brake bleeder as well ,not bad but an old bottle and a length of tubing will get it done as well .

Jens

 

And I must tell you, it is not all it is cracked up to be...

1st thing... it was full of plastic shaving in the bottom of the container when I opened it up..... that is VERY bad!!..

Next, there is not direct fit for the master cyclinder, you have to use a device with J-hooks, chain and wing nuts to wrench down on your master cylinder to get a good seal.... Thats not good at all...

There was a residue in the lines that ended up putting a black oily like substance in the master cylinder... I had to suck all the black shit that it put in the system out...

and Lastly, IT DID NOT WORK... it left air in the system and I had to go to each brake caliper bleeder and bleed the lines the old fashion way...(a clear piece of tubing and a bottle, while my buddy pumped the brake pedal).... A total pain in my ass..

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BRAKE BLEEDER AT ALL... i read the directions to the T, and spoke with the company.. They refunded me money and I am shipping the piece of shit back to them tomorrow... I got the fucker over nighted to me and it cost me 20 bucks for junk!!!!......

... Oh well you live and learn....but take my word.. Do not use this MOTIVE brake bleeder.. it is JUNK!!!..
