I'm having my AH SRi-T serviced this week and the service book says the brake fluid will be changed. I use my car on the track a few times a year so I need a high quality, high boiling point fluid so what's the best fluid to get?

TRW GP600. About $60 per 1 litre bottle

Ok thanks guys. Where can I get it from? I need to get it tomorrow because the car goes in for service on Tuesday.

Ah, i normally order it from GSL Rallysport, but most places should be able to get it in.

Text or call if you get stuck. I can get it from ABS but not sure how quickly they can get it in.

Ring Greg from GSL and he should be able to throw it in an overnight bag.

Send tomorrow you will get it Tuesday, maybe get him to send it direct to the mechanic so it's there ;)

I could but it is not at a mechanic the service is at Watson Holden in Bundoora at 7:30am. My best hope is to find a retailer locally here in Melbourne tomorrow.

Managed to get some gp600 fluid from BrakeWest today for $70 (thanks Rory!) so all ready for the service tomorrow. Also looking forward to getting the front end aligned after hitting that massive pot hole at Phillip Island a couple of weeks ago!

Yeah that's a bit exy...

In about a months time we're going to be having a price reduction on the GP600 down from the current $65. And yep, we can indeed throw in overnight satchels if required, always plenty in stock. Also with a lot of suppliers (TRW included) we can have customers pickup from the state warehouse if need be, so no need to ship at all...

I've been using Amsoil series 600 brake fluid
I think its a little behind the TRW but I get it around $50 p/L from supplier in Greensborough
