i got 5 bottles of motul 600. each at 500ml. that ought to be MORE than enough right?

I use RBF600. It has a higher dry boiling point than SRF. The benefit of SRF is on long term use given the high wet boiling point, this is not a benefit for me as I bleed my brakes for each track event.
SRF comes only in 1L bottle. Once you open the bottle, if you don't use the entire content, the dry boiling point starts falling during storage. RBF comes in 500ml bottles, and it's way cheaper.

Moot, you're overdoing it. Just go track the bloody thing.
ps. A 1 liter bottle cuts it (about $80 at Winecountry ...) but you can't flush it yourself, you need to take it to Christian to cycle the ABS into service mode to flush it, otherwise, you're not getting 100% fresh stuff through to the back of the pistons and the whole value of the SRF is wet boiling-point, otherwise you should use Motul which is almost the same dry point and far cheaper.
Here's the BPs again (and as far as I know, the dry BP of Motul "Red" RBF600 is not higher than the CRF point.)
Brake Fluid boiling points dry/wet and price per litre (approx quart) :
590 / 518 ___ Castrol SRF $75
536 / 396 ___ ATE Super Blue $10
572 / 284 ___ AP DOT 5.1 $9
572 / 302 ___ AP 551 $12
590 / 410 ___ AP 600 $18
593 / 420 ___ Motul RBF 600 $30

Sorry to bring-up an old thread, but I am getting ready to DE my 996 (OK not a GT3), but where are you guys getting the Motul RBF600 from ?
Thanks in advance...Steven

You might visit Alex at Sharkwerks.

You should be going through a pretty long checklist for your first DE with a 996, especially suspension and alignment.
There's numerous posts comparing each available type and brand of brake fluid. You probably don't need to pay for Motul, but it is very good. ATE has never let me down in several 911's driven pretty hard at the track.
Enjoy the DE -- being prepared is the key to enjoying the day.

Thanks again
