I am coming up on two years of ownership and am about to bleed and refill my brake fluid with some Motul Racing Brake Fluid 600.

Has anyone bled their system yet with the 8 piston calipers ? Anything I should watch out for ?

I know each front caliper has a inner and outer bleed screw.

Also, I am looking to see if anyone sells stainless brake lines for the CL's. Haven't found anything yet.

Has anyone seem lines for the CL's anywhere ?

have the dealer do it under the maintenance plan and give them that fluid... I think stock fluid is good enough for street use.

Exactly what I am trying to avoid. Everytime the dealer touches my car they screw something up. The thought of them talking a air rachet to my HRE wheels makes me cringe.

Last FSS Service was my AMG rims they scratched. They never will touch my car again unless I am watching.

In most cases, I'd rather pay a little for materials and do the work myself. That way I know it is done right and my car doesn't get messed up.

In the long run it's cheaper that way.

Found a company that makes the lines to fit the CL55. Goodridge G-Stop.

Brake lines just came in. Will be installing them tomorrow and replacing/flushing the OEM fluid with Motul RBF600 ....

Job complete. Took about an hour to swap the 4 lines and flush/bleed the system.

Pedal feel is about the same. My right front caliper had some type of sediment in it that bled out. Looked like sand !!!

I'm good for another 2 years now on the brake fluid.

Next year (36 month mark), I will flush and refill the coolant including the intercooler. At that time I intend to drain and refill the transmission (including a new filter) as well as the rear end as well.
