brake fluid recommendations

spearfish25

If you guys are careful, you can bleed your brake system using a single quart of new fluid. Using the RBF600 and ATE SuperBlue alternating schedule, it's easy to know when you've adequately bled each caliper.

How often should you bleed the brakes if you run RBF600 on a mostly street driven Z?

Define mostly?

I bleed the brakes every 2 years on my street cars.

99% of the time just street driving, I would like to think someday I can go to a track for the first time haha. Thanks for the information, I am upgrading the fluid and pads for my base brakes since the stock pads and fluid cannot cope with any serious sustained braking, that's for sure.

If you are just driving on the street RBF600 is a waste of money. Given that it is recommended that you bleed the brakes directly before a track event, go with something a little more economical (but meets the DOT4 spec) until you hit the track.
