So i've run Maxima 600+ racing brake fluid and Motul's 600 in my 07 GT500, I'm getting ready to switch out fhe factory brake fluid in my GT350R but when I read the owners supplement it says specifically NOT to use silicone brake fluids which Maxima, Motul and Castrol SRF all are silicone.
Page 50 of the owners supplement:
Hydraulic Brake System
Use only Motorcraft DOT 4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2 and ISO 4925 Class 6. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause brake system damage. Prior to track use, replace brake fluid with fresh Motorcraft/Ford DOT 4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid or other DOT compliant fluid with a dry boiling point
greater than 500Ā°F (260Ā°C) from a sealed container. Do not use silicone or DOT 5 brake fluids.
So what's the down side to silicone?
