Default What Brake Fluids Do You Use?

Howdy,

Recently acquired B6 S4 Front Brakes with SS Lines and was wondering what brake fluid to refill it with. I have two bottles of Motul DOT 5.1 lying around but was wondering if I should upgrade to Motul RBF600 DOT 4. Would two bottles of 16.9 oz be enough and how often should you flush it out and refill it with new fluids?

TIA,
Oenophile

Default I have Motul RBF600, but 5.1 should be OK too...

Since they're both synthetic (and both OK for our brake system), it's recommended to flush the brake fluid at least once a year. Two 1/2 liter bottles should be enough.

Default Motul DOT5.1....

Like you didn't see that one coming

Get 3 bottles just in case. I used 3-4. Change every two years, or less, depending on use.
