Anybody know what Porsche now puts in their brake systems? I'm just curious, since the shop manual says they used to put in "DOT4 type 200" with a 3 year change interval, but now they specify "Super DOT4" with a 2 year change interval.

What might "Super DOT4" be, and why would they change from what was probably ATE Type 200?

Not sure what goes in the street cars, but all Porsche factory race cars (Cup cars, etc) use the premium Castrol SRF.

I've used SRF for the last couple of weeks. I got mine for around $40 to $50 per can. Too early for me tell any difference. I figure it’s not a huge price to pay to ensure my brake fluid doesn't boil. Just my opinion.
