high temp dot 4 brake fluid of a different color than ate type 200?
I used to alternate between ATE super blue and type 200. Since super blue is discontinued, is there something else similar or better that is of a different color?

To the OP, just keep track of how much you put through the master cylinder when you flush. "Most" of it is usually "good enough". You can usually tell when the fluid looks good and clean, then flush a few more pumps.

Wonder if you can still get ATE Super Blue in Canada? Maybe cross the border, buy a can or two and bring it back. Hard to say if the US Customs people know about brake fluid color.

Interesting.... I have ran nothing but ATE in my C5Z since 2009. I seem to do pretty well with it; never once boiled the fluid.

Huh? Where did this come from?
For the record, temp paint testing shows I get my rotors OVER 1800*F at tracks like VIR and Road Atl. Again, with no issues with ATE 200.

I can't agree more. I've used it in my C6 Z06 & now in the ZR1 both on the track (9/10th+) for well over a decade (blue & now gold) with 0 issues- just my experience. I would love to have blue ATE back since I use a one man power bleeder.
