Anyone run Wilwood EXP 600 Plus at track/street?
I have always run Motul RBF 600 fluid daily and on track with zero issues. My local dealer had to order it, but they have Wilwood EXP 600 Plus in stock (no shipping charges) and it looks to have the exact same dry, and more importantly, wet boiling points as the Motul fluid. Let me know what you think of the Wilwood if you have used it. Thanks!

I have not used this brake fluid, but here are my thoughts:
-Not many technical specs given. Here is what RBF600 shows:
https://www.motul.com/system/product...pdf?1335379868
- In looking at the specs, viscosity is not mentioned. Too thick would slow the response of the ABS.
- I get the sense they think if they exceed wet/dry temps they exceed the DOT spec, BUT there is MUCH more to the DOT spec than temps.
- Not sure how it would perform on the street, they say it is designed for "Racing Only" (which typically don't use ABS)
It could be awesome.
For me, I would stick with the RBF600. It would be a shame to find out a few years from now that all your brake line seals are leaking due to it. Racing Only products are great on the track, but are not designed for the conditions we see on the street.

They are both racing brake fluid so I am sure they are both fine for the street. I found a new shop locally that also sells the RBF600 fluid so I just picked some of that up. Hope they stay in business since it is the only place I know that carries it close to me.

I have yet to hear anyone who tried it. I am starting to think the people around me just use it for sprint cars and stock cars because it is in all of those shops. I think it would work the same as Motul RBF600 since it has the same wet and dry boiling points. Let me know what you think. I might end up switching to this fluid if the small race shop near me stops carrying RBF600.
