couldn't find toyota's brand of dot3 brake fluid at any dealer. What brand would everyone here suggest for dot3? I'm hearing things against prestone or valvoline, so I'm not sure who to turn to. Let me know what brand is good.

 

Why not go DOT 4 Motul? Especially if you drive the car hard like AUTO X or something....

^ there is some info regarding brake fluid. Sums it up nicely

Motul RBF 500
or
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid

 

thanks for the info!! i'll check that out!

 

I was looking for brake fluid for my bbk too.

thanks for the info nurspec

 

bringin this back from the dead yes, but can any1 tell me how many bottles of brake fluid exactly would i need for the tc? also I'm looking online and I only see motul rbf 600 dot4 is that good aswell?

 

isn't dot 4 silicone? or is it dot5?

 

Dot 5 is silicone. I use Motul 5.1 (non silicone). Boiling point is not as high as RBF 600 (although it's still higher than most brake fluids out there), but it's cheaper and according to Motul it will last up two years. 1.5 liters or 3 bottles of the Motul stuff should be more than enough to flush out the system, and you'll still have some left over to bleed the clutch.
