Brake/Clutch Fluid? is there any difference between brands?

hey all, I was just wondering if there was any difference between the brands of this ? or will normal moto factors dot 4 brake fluid be fine?

also how much do I need for clutch and brakes?

Cheers

I use ATE personally...

depends on what you intend to use your car for.

I use Ford DOT3 HD stuff because I got a really good deal on it years ago. Cars that spend most of their time on the road can use just about anything for brakes. Fresh fluid is good fluid.

FWIW, I use the Tech 2000 stuff from Walmart and it does the job just fine. Competition use I stick to Ford HD and in some cases have gone to Motul because I know the dealer.

no harm done.... I've been called worse in the past...

As for how much fluid is required, I've gotten away with two 500ml bottles in the past when I still used the "pump till you build pressure in the pedal then get buddy to release the fluid" method.

What I use now is a vacuum system and drain the respective reservoirs first (don't forget to clean them! Honda recommends plastic safe brake clean or use water only) and then fill with fresh fluid. I've cut my brake flushing down to 1 500ml bottle.

ok cheers mate, ill just get the normal stuff then
