If I use the Motul how may bottles shouldbi buy. They are 1/2 liter. Was also looking at Amsoil dot4.

Either of those. The ATE blue apparently can stain plastics (and is technically illegal for highway use in Florida because of its color).

Just to clarify, DOT 5.1 is not a silicone fluid.
DOT 5 (without the '.1') is, and it's that stuff that you don't want near a track car.

Don't know about the Motul, but Sam Strano's business (stranoparts.com) carries the ATE amber and also a Brembo fluid that exceeds DOT 4. He's in western PA and stuff I've ordered from him gets to NJ pretty quickly.
