Anyone think there's a difference between this stuff for the brake and clutch systems on our cars?

Pep boys prices:

Valvoline: $5.50
White bottle: $2.25

White bottle claims to exceed DOT3 specs. heh.

 

Also interested, I have two of the white bottles, Castrol GTX I think.

The Valvoline Synthic is rated at 500 degrees F, versus 350 or so for the "white bottle". For non-performance driving th white stuff should be OK.

 

So, if I drive at places like Lime Rock and Watkins Glenn (Racing Courses), I should get the Valvoline?

 

Also, does anyone know the capacities for brake and clutch fluid in the 4th gen (LT1 if that matters) 6spd cars?

 

If you plan to run on race courses, you'll need to upgrade you entire brake system to be competitive. Next to experience, brakes are the most important upgrade.

You will need a quart of brake fluid to bleed your entire brake system. The clutch reservoir doesn't "bleed" (no bleed screw) and only holds about 4 oz of fluid.

 

I have z06 brakes ready to go on it.. I hope these'll be enough of an upgrade to stop the car decently on the track..

 

Go with high heat DOT5, not the generic stuff if you road race.
