Colored Brake fluid
I searched for a post I remember that had an online source for about 10 brake fluid choices, a couple of them blue or red. Anyone have the link or a auto parts chain that might have colored fluid?
Thanks,Randy

AFAIK, there are no color choices for brake fluid - it is dictated by type.
DOT 3 & 4 are clear to amber in color
DOT 3/4 is clear to pale blue in color
DOT 5 is purple in color (not recommended for ABS)
DOT 5.1 Standard is crystal clear in color
DOT 5.1 Long Life is clear to golden yellow in color
HTH!

Is there a website to order from or an auto parts store that carries blue or amber. I want to flush my brakes and it would be easier if I can tell when the fresh fluid is coming through the bleeders.
