my goal isn't to go too fast, my goal is to learn how to "go too fast"), that being said, #1 goal is to be safe for myself and for my car too))

I use Motul RBF600, but Ford Motorcraft DOT 4 is also good and popular. If you can't get any of that, a fresh bleed of pretty much any fluid is better than nothing.
although I did service few weeks back, I should be OK, I'm not going go crazy anyways ;p but I'll check into this, thanks!)

My Ducati on track was fun, I think 335IS should be fun too))
