Major Service DC5

I know what gets donne, valve clearance, all fluids changed over apart from coolant i believe and filters.

Not wanting to use OEM oil this time around as i wanna start using Synthetic oils so my car is right for the track.

Royal Purple or Motul Or anything else anyone wants to recommend?
Gear box oil?
Brake fluid?

If you mean the 80,000 or 160,000 service then coolant should be changed.

I have always used Honda MTF, Red Line 10W-40 or 10W-30 depending on the season, and Motul RBF600. OEM brake fluid is not sufficient for track use in my opinion.

I knew OEM brake fluid was no good as i've asked for suggestion
Since the hot weather is approaching (spring and summer), might opt to go 10W-40.
Just unsure of which brand oil i should try as theres a HUGE range, just after peoples feedback.

Motul RBF600 for brake fluid sounds like the go, how many litrs as my lines are getting changed to braided at this service.

It's a 120,000kms service.

Thought so, I was just making particular note of it since of the three fluids it is most likely to cause problems on your first track day. A long long brake pedal will ruin your day for sure. Any decent synthetic engine oil should do fine on track, just change it before the day and after if you are pedantic and do plenty of cool down laps.

2x 500ml bottles should do, it will have some leftover as well.

+1 I have never needed more than 1L to flush the system out fully.

What if you want to flush the clutch fluid too? Will it then require 3 bottles of brake fluid?

around half of bottle i think, or close to 3/4.
