I had to change my brake fluid last week as both rear calipers were replaced and there was no SRF available at the time, so I now have some R600+ fluid fitted (see link below) so I'll keep an eye on how it compares.

when you change your brake fluid do you drain completely and refill, or will the new push the old out and if so when can you tell that all the old is out, or will it mix thanks,

I've just bought a vacuum bleed kit so it will suck out the old fluid and with the ate blue new fluid, i'll know when it's been flushed toally. I will prpbably go for castrol next time and alternate 'colours' of fluid
