Break fluid change to Castro srf
I'm starting to track my 2016 gts. I want to change brake fluid to Castro srf . Dealer says they would do it but I would have to sign a waiver essentially voiding any warranty with brakes.
Anyone out there has info on the use of Castro srf , does it have any averse affects? I'll probably change it elsewhere.

I have run Castrol SRF in at least 5 different cars on track and have never had an issue, including in my GTS. Plus many of my track buddies run SRF and they have never had an issue. SRF is a fantastic brake fluid for use on track.
Plus if you track your car, how is the dealer going to help you with warranty on brake parts anyhow. I can't imagine they are going to cover worn out brake pads or rotors from track use.
I change my SRF once a year as recommended by Castrol.
"The use of Castrol SRF should be restricted to not
more than eighteen months before draining and refilling for maximum efficiency. "

As Claude mentions, it's the best brake fluid for road course work and as long as you change it at least every 18 months you'll be fine. Find an independent shop that will flush the brake fluid for you; it's easy enough to do and then your dealership won't even be aware it's been done. You'll experience no issues with it.
