I knew there was a so called aviation brake fluid, but couldn't figure why anyone would use it though. Is there anyone on list that has an idea of what the aircraft fluid is supposed to do better? First let me say that there are modern fluids for racing that are good to incredible temps and are non-corrosive to aluminum. Hell most of the calipers used on race cars have been aluminum for years. Water accumulation is the only possible question that I could see and modern fluids have no problem there. Silicone based fluids have the advantage of not harming paint, but have compressibility issues at high temperatures. I am planning to run a high temp racing fluid unless somebody can tell me why I "must" run aviation fluid. Comments Guys?
