Never used Castrol, but I do hear only good things about it. As fare as Motul goes I use it in my race bike( ducati) and used it in my race cars in the past. My team that I use to race with in Germany used Motul in the yellow Z3( pic below) for the 24 hours of Nurburing. We did NOT do a single brake fluid flush the entire 24 hours and the brakes held up just fine with the Motul 600. After that race I was believer and have used it ever since. That car had all Motul Synthetic fluids( motor, trans, diff. and brakes).

You're right, SRF is no different than OEM brake fluid.
Care to head to the closest track?
Identical cars, new pads, one with OEM, one with SRF, no one stops until someone brings out the red flag.

SRF or RBF....both are about the same, both are vastly superior to OEM or ATE.
I just like SRF, no particular reason, other than it's never caused me to blush when I bring my suit in to the dry cleaners (although now with Molecule suit wash, I no longer go to the dry cleaner)

It's all good. Like I said before I have never heard a single bad thing about SRF. I'm sure it's a great brake fluid.

for $275 we can flush your brakes with super blue and swap your street pads out and still have room for a startbucks coffee.

I just flushed with SRF, cost me like 200$ in fluid alone! But cheap insurance. There has to be a reason Porsche uses it in their cups.
