Mine is still new... but my plan is to use what I use for my other cars, ATE. Looks like our cars call for ATE SL.6

Car calls for a DOT 4 low-viscosity (LV) hydraulic brake fluid. Best to use a high-quality synthetic fluid.

When we bought our 4 year old F, the first thing I did was to replace the brake fluid. Used NAPA DOT4.

AFTERWARDS, I noticed the LV (Low Viscosity) recommendation.

Needless to say, we didn't experience any issues...So we DID use the same DOT4 fluid in there on the next replacement. <---remember, brake fluid absorbs moisture, so you should go by TIME not MILEAGE. I have assisted others who needed to refresh their BF at track events (HPDE)...

I've been running
Motul RBF 600 Motul RBF 600
for about 3 years. Flushed every 12 months as required for PCA track day tech inspection. Very happy with both street and track performance.

Yes it is. I use Petosin DOT 4 LV. Low Viscosity brake fluid is recommended by Jaguar.
