Racing Brake Fluids

Find racing brake fluid engineered to get you through long, hot days in the middle of intense action when you shop the selection at Behrent's Performance Warehouse. Your race car brakes generate a considerable amount of heat when you slow down for a wreck, a caution, or to enter the pits; after running so hot for so long, the brake fluid can reach a boiling point that causes it to vaporize. Once you hit that boiling point, stopping power is reduced, and that can cause major trouble with your brake system. We carry brake fluids that stand up to the intensity of track racing, including those engineered for high-temperature wet and dry boiling points. These hi-temp brake fluids remain stable in extreme racing conditions to give you maximum stoppage when it matters the most. Rely on brake fluid from PFC, Wilwood, Allstar Performance, and other top racing brands to maintain the reliability of your race car braking system and generate success on the track.

Can you use any kind of brake fluid in a race car?
The brake fluid you choose must be compatible with your race car's brake system and be able to handle the high temperatures on the track. Choose a high-performance brake fluid for your race car with a rating of DOT 4 or higher for maximum heat resistance.

How often should you change the brake fluid in your race car?
How often you change the brake fluid in your race car depends on how you run it. If you run short tracks with a lot of hard braking, change it after every race. For long tracks, a change after every couple of races is sufficient.

What are the minimum dry and wet boiling points of racing brake fluid?
The minimum dry and wet boiling points vary by the DOT of the racing brake fluid. DOT 4 brake fluid carries a minimum dry boiling point of 446°F (230°C) and a wet boiling point of 311°F (155°C). The minimum dry boiling point of both DOT 5 and DOT 5.1 brake fluid is 500°F (260°C) with a wet boiling point of 356°F (180°C). Some manufacturers engineer their brake fluids with higher boiling points; check the brand label for specifics.
