    Brake fluid and LSD oil

    Hi Opie,

    Time for another order from you.

    Am running near 400bhp and 8 pot front brakes, semi slicks etc on a road and track car that does occasional competition.

    1999 S14s 200sx SR20DET

    1. Is Motul RBF 600 the best brake fluid? And do I need 2 x 500ml?

    2. Diff oil needs a change, I have a standard viscous LSD, but the oil cooler and pipes are removed, what do I need and how many litres please?

    3. For about the last 12 years since Opie been here have used what used to be Silkolene and I think is now Fuchs Pro S in either 5/40 or 10/50, is this still the best choice of oil? (fully forged engine with about 8k miles on)

    Hope to see you at some shows this year

    Thanks,
    Scott.

    Hi Scott

    The RBF 600 is a very good fluid, but there are better ones like the RBF 660, Gulf RF1000 or Castrol SRF. They are absolute top end though (F1 cars use the Castrol). Unless it's a full on race car, the RBF 600 is fine.

    The diff needs a 75w-90 GL5 oil and I think it takes about 1.7L.

    http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-673-75w-...ion-fluid.aspx

    The Fuchs Syn 5, Millers CRX, Red Line 75w-90 GL5, Motul Gear 300 and Gulf Competition are ideal for the diff. The Fuchs Sintopoid, Castrol Syntrax Longlife, Millers TRX, Motul Motylgear, Mobil SHC and Gulf Syngear are also good choices.

    With 400bhp and a forged build, go for the Pro S 10w-50.

    Cheers

    Tim
