Brake Fluid for 2007 A4 2.0T

Brake Fluid Question -
I recently purchased new rotors,pads and SS lines for my 2007 A4 2.0T.

NOW, the question is; I bought one bottle (.5 liter) of Motul RBF600 DOT4 racing brake fluid. Is this the correct kind to use and I'm thinking I will need more than one bottle between new fluid and bleeding the brakes...correct?! Purchased it off ECS's site: http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B7_A4-...luid/ES261392/

Suggestions on fluid to use, or if this is good stuff, how many more bottles should I purchase? I will be running the new fluid atleast through winter until sunny days and then flushing it before another track day.


Thank you!

RBF600 is fine fluid, but probably not really what you should be using. It's a fluid that's very highly hygroscopic, meaning it loves water. It has a 1 year flush interval, as opposed to most "street" fluids, which have a 2year cycle. RBF600 is a race fluid, and really isn't mean to be used for daily driving. You're paying extra for fluid that really isn't suited for you.
If you want Motul fluid, stick with the DOT5.1 fluid.
