Overview
MOTUL RBF 700 FACTORY LINE is a high-performance brake fluid developed to offer highly consistent and maximum braking power at the extreme brake temperatures generated by carbon and ceramic racing brake disc systems. It meets the DOT 4 standard, allowing use in high-performance vehicles for everyday road use as well as racing.
Compatibility
Compatibility information not available.
Key Features
- Very high dry boiling point (336°C/637°F) — superior to conventional DOT 5.1 (260°C min) and DOT 4 (230°C min) brake fluids
- Very high wet boiling point (205°C/401°F) — superior to conventional DOT 5.1 non-silicone base (180°C min) and DOT 4 (155°C min)
- Better aerodynamic performance by reducing air entrance needed for brake cooling
- Maintains efficient braking in wet conditions, reducing vapor-lock/spongy-braking risk
Applications
- Hydraulic actuated brake and clutch systems in racing and high-performance road vehicles
- Vehicles with carbon or ceramic brake disc systems generating extreme brake temperatures
- Road-legal (DOT 4) use as well as racing/track use

Directions for Use
Use only in hydraulic brake and clutch systems designed for a DOT 4 fluid. Avoid mixing with polyglycol-based brake fluids of a different type; do not mix with silicone (DOT 5 silicone-base) or mineral-base (LHM) fluids. Store in the original container, tightly closed, to prevent moisture absorption. Refer to the vehicle or brake-system manufacturer's instructions for service interval, as no fixed change interval is specified for this racing-grade fluid.
Installation and usage guidance is general reference only. Manufacturer instructions take precedence. Visitors uncertain about installation or use should seek professional advice.
FAQ
What makes Motul RBF 700 Factory Line different from a standard DOT 4 fluid?
It has a much higher dry (336°C) and wet (205°C) boiling point than conventional DOT 4/5.1 minimums, engineered for the extreme temperatures generated by racing brake systems.
Is Motul RBF 700 Factory Line street-legal?
Yes — it meets the DOT 4 standard and is suitable for everyday road use as well as racing.
What brake systems is Motul RBF 700 Factory Line designed for?
Carbon and ceramic racing brake disc systems specifically, as well as general hydraulic brake and clutch systems.
