Well, I've looked through all my data and haven't found that. I think that 500ml would be about right but to be safe, have another 500ml in reserve:dunno:

Thanks David, that confirms what I was thinking. I'm changing to AP 660 and given the price I didn't want to get more than I have to.

AP 660? Not heard of that one :confused: What's the advantages over Dot 5.1?

As I understand it AP Racing 660 which is far more resilient to heat cycling than Dot 5.1 fluids, I can't attest to this myself but its what have been advised by a several of blokes in the local motor racing scene who should know. I guess I will find out for myself soon enough.

AP 660 Boiling Points
- New Dry > 320°C
- 'Wet" E.R > 199°C


Dot 5.1 Boiling points
- New Dry >270°C
- 'Wet" E.R >191°C

Just to confirm, I replaced mine the other day, used around 500ml
