Iain,
Motul RBF600 is DOT 4. DOT 5 doesn't exist.. it's DOT 5.1
Also for the record, I don't see any need to use anything other than Honda fluid in the braking system. If Honda use a DOT 4 (which I imagine they would) then either put the genuine Honda fluid in or get some other good DOT 4 like Motul or ELF.
The Euro isnt really a sports car and I don't believe needs to be treated as such.
I got my Euro with 17,000km on it and it now has 43,000km and the brakes are still great.
IMHO the braking system on the Euro is exceptionally well balanced for the car. I have on a few occasions given the brakes a hard time (as much as I am willing to on the street) and they have pulled up fine time and time again.
If the brakes have been skimmed once then Honda should check if they can do another skim before they hit minimum thickness, otherwise replace them if they're going to be below minimum. Generally you are allowed to have the rotos skimmed upto 2mm before you hit minimum thickness
tosh you havent had a brake oil change yet?
no I haven't, it hasn't been necessary. The brakes are as good today as the day I got the car. There is still plenty of pad compound left and the rotors are still good as well
43000km and still no need to change brake oil? So the dealer didnt change it even though it is stated in the 30000 km/30 mths service?
Brake fluid man... It's not an oil. :)
Ahh thanks Tosh, i would look at the bottle of Brake Fluid but then id have to go outside lol
if its in the 30k service, i guess mine missed out!
Just an advice, don't mix different brake fluids!! So either use the same fluid in the system or make sure you really flush the whole system. If you're lazy like me, use the same fluid, bleed each corner 3-4 times and see if it improves pedal feel. If the fluid is black or grotty, just flush the whole system.
I'm starting to get a spongy feel in brakes of the Euro (03 model) so I guess it's time for me to check the pads and bleed the lines too. I think my brakes have lasted long enough (30,000km) with the way I drive :p
