Which fluids and when?

[NGOT8R]

Time for another brake/clutch fluid flush in just 1300 miles. It’s fair to say that during that time, I’ve put lots of heat into the system by launching at the drag strip several times and then scrubbing off speed at the end of the track. Look at the difference in the color of the fluid.

Old fluid

Fresh fluid

Any recommendations on fluid choices and how much I would need? Just hit 50k miles.

Looking at Motul 600 for PP Brembo brakes, but don't know about radiator, diff, and trans. Are the options at autozone/napa okay or should I look elsewhere?

You haven‘t changed or flushed any of your fluids in 50K miles?

Motul should be fine for the brakes. I use BG Synchro Shift II for the tranny (3 quarts), BG Ultra-Guard for the diff. (can be purchased with or without LS additive), Motorcraft yellow for the coolant (you can still find it in orange, but supply may be limited). Yellow is the replacement and it’s safe to mix with the orange.
