Default Brake Flush w/ATE Super Blue

Are any of you guys running ATE Super Blue brake fluid? I'm running it in my C5 because I do some occasional high speed open road races with it (Big Bend Open Road Race). I have a liter of unopened Super Blue that I'm thinking of using for my CE vert I bought yesterday. The car is 11 years old and still has the original brake fluid. Is 1 liter enought to flush the brakes in a '96? Thanks!

That should be more than adequate for flushing any car. Kudos to you for knowing what an important PM measure brake fluid flushing is, for any vehicle!

We just replaced my J-55 calipers with GS calipers and new Russell stainless lines and it took a almost a whole 32 oz bottle of DOT3 Synthetic 284wet and 470 degree dry boiling point for ABS. make sure you use Only DOT 3 for your 96.

1 liter will leave you with a little left over.
