When fitting performance brakes it is important to upgrade your brake fluid. AP Racing Factory R brake fluid has higher fade resistance and is longer lasting than standard brake fluid. Factory R brake fluid is suitable for use in performance applications for both brakes and clutches.
Over time, brake fluid absorbs water from the atmosphere, reducing its boiling point. This reduction in boiling point causes brakes to fade earlier as the force put through the brake pedal compresses air bubbles instead of displacing fluid. The DOT 5.1 specification of AP Racing Factory R brake fluid means that the brake fluid can absorb more water before its boiling point is reduced.
With a dry (new) boiling point of 269?C, AP Racing Factory R brake fluid is suitable for fast road and track day applications. Dot 5.1 is non-silicone gycol?based and compatible with Dot 3 and Dot 4 fluids, so changing to Factory R does not require the system to be flushed. However, old brake fluid should be first drained from the system to ensure optimum performance.
