Interesting.... I wander who could give us the facts about Endless.

Not that it means anything with respect to flush intervals, but Endless is used by Porsche in all of their race cars.

Nothing mentioned yet on the PCNA recall check site though (https://recall.porsche.com/prod/pag/...f/VIN?ReadForm)

I wonder if that contributed to the accelerated brake pad wear ...
Yeah, I heard same when I went in for service but the ducts were there already so not needed.

Using Motul and PFC11's for last 8 track days on GT3.2, working great.

Apparently it is not the scoops you see when you look underneath the car. They tell me there also should be some ducts in the wheelwell that I do not seem to have atm. I'll hopefully have more info when the car goes into the shop in a few weeks.

Compressability is higher with endless and BP is higher with SRF. I prefer better brake feel than wet bp. It is also the OE fluid for Cup Cars and the Park Place race team, so they always have it in stock at PP.
