After a track day do you flush or just crack the bleeders for your next hpde?
Car has ate super blue with one track day. 6-20 minute runs.
Thanks

Just bleed them if it wasn't too long ago. If the fluid is a year old flush it.

I bleed after each day and flush every 2nd or 3rd event - but then again I'm doing 2 - 4 events a month. I'm using the Valvoline Syntec.

Seeing fluid is new, just crack the bleeder 4 or 5 seconds and be done.
Thanks.

I take the extra couple minutes and run a full bottle of Motul RBF 600 threw the lines before each event. $17 for a bottle of RBF 600 and 30minutes of my time are well worth it considering the alternative.

U funneee guy.

Seriously though if you have any evidence of boiled fluid, bleed them after that session!

What is recommended for Castrol SRF that's 3 months old? I'm thinking flush it anyway but probably it would be ok to just bleed.

I've found that most of the time, "boiled fluid" is actually overheated brake pads. If you are actually boiling fluid, you have serious cooling or driving issues (lots of folks overbrake). You don't need to "settle the nose" etc every time you turn.....

Anyway, I personally feel that the synthetic Valvoline fluid is good enough for even very aggressive pads, and it's cheap enough that if I need to bleed, I prefer to go ahead and FLUSH thoroughly.

As for SRF and other high end fluids, they are awesome when fresh, but attract moisture quickly. I think that fluid should be reserved for serious race cars that need bleeding daily. In other words, 3-month old SRF is REALLY old IMO.

Would you use SRF from a container that was opened for 10 minutes then closed w/cap and let to sit 3 months? Curious if the container is any better than the rubber lines etc in the car.
