Which is the brake fluid that is better than the normal stuff, but can go in the normal system without any changes? Is that Dot 5.1?
Cheers :-)

Dot 5.1 has a higher boiling point yea? So if one was upgrading discs/pads and considering fast road / track use (not the 206 heh) 5.1 fluid would be the way forward?

Indeed, motul RBF600 is "only" DOT4 as it's low temperature pourring point is too high for DOT5.1 spec, however its boiling point is higher than most DOT5.1 fluids.
