Trying not to spend a bunch of cash, but don't want regular stuff either...

For the money, Motul 600. Then go up from there.

For the money, you can use any of these fluids that are the exact same fluid as RBF600, yet some are priced lower (some under $8/bottle):

In alphabetical order: AP Racing, Brembo, EBC Brakes, Elf/Total, Eneos, Ferodo, Gulf, Millers Oil, Pagid, Pentosin, PFC, Silkolene, StopTech, Tarox, Tilton, Wilwood

Just look at the specs to see which one is the match for the 600 (too detailed to type it all here). These are not all of them, just what I have had verified since about 9 months ago. Most of these brands also have versions that match up with the 660.
