Re: Brake Fluid Advice

That synthetic valvoline stuff is what I run. Easy to find, and a good fluid to boot. Never had an issue with it, even at track days. But really, if your not going to put a ton of stress on the brake system, even the parts store generic stuff would work just fine.

As for the pulling, your going to want to check your brake pads, caliper slides, and pistons. If a slide or piston has stuck it will wear out the pads on one side, and then the braking forces are unbalanced so the car pulls. If the fluid has never been bled, it's going to be dark in color. New fluid is clear, with maybe a slight hint of yellow.

If the fluid has never been bled, if end up with water in it. It just absorbs it through the rubber and what not. And then it collects down in the caliper and rusts inside and makes the piston(s) stick.
