What fluid to use with AKEBONO bbk's?
Hello all,
I am picking up a used set of Akebono BBK's and plan to get them installed this Saturday. I just wanted to get some feedbacks from the guys w/ these BBK's.
What brake fluid are you guys using?
I was just planning picking up the OEM fluids from the dealers. I just wanted to see if there are better alternatives for the fluids.
Any help is appreciated.

I would figure it would be a hit and miss thing. Most service advisors won't even notice them to be an added-on part since they come as OEM part on the coupes. So if you're lucky, shouldn't be a problem. However, that's one of the reasons why I waited til the end of my factory warranty period.

Anyone use the regular Nissan DOT 3 fluids? That's what the dealership recommends.. I just want to know that they perform fine. Since I am getting them installed this Saturday, I don't have time to order the MOTUL fluids. No autostore carries them. It seems like they're only available online.

Well I can do the install except for the brake bleeding.

Castrol LMA is a good over the counter fluid (Pep Boys here on the east coast carries it, I imagine other chain stores to as well)
Friend of mine uses it in his AutoX car, so it should be good for everyday use too.

Try Ferdie at South Coast Subaru, I think he stocks RBF600.
