What spec brake fluid for replacement ?

Hi

Looking to flush this and replace as it's not been done since car manufactured (04). In the manual it just recommends porsche fluid.

Will and DOT 4 PLUS or DOT 5.1 do ?

Cheers

Porsche says "Use only new DOT4 brake fluid!"

As Loren says, you need DOT4. But you don't necessarily have to use the stuff labeled Porsche. ATE or Pentosin is perfectly fine - I think they both make fluids that end up with the Porsche name on the can.

I recently bled my brakes and I was looking for a hi-temp fluid since I auto-x the car. I ended up with Motul RBF 600, and I'm quite happy with the results. Pedal is rock hard and good performance at the track. Not the cheapest fluid you will find, but good stuff.

Here's a good website with brake fluid details:
