Sorry I'm upgrading to ss braided lines and was wondering if any brake fluids will do or is there one better than another.

Motul is very good stuff. I prefer ATE Super Blue because you can see when your flush is complete from the fluid color change. Valvoline also makes a good synthetic, but it doesn't have quite the boiling point rating that the Motul and ATE do if I recall.

Here's a thread I started on the exact same subject

Thanks man, I wasn't looking deep enough. I called around Napa and Autozone and none of them carry Motul or ATE Super Blue....so where can I get the ATE Superblue without resorting to ebay? Is 1Liter enough?

You can get generic common dot5 fluid from autozone.... it doesnt fade under heat, but u gotta totally drain your system and flush it to use it
