I use Prestone Dot 3. Why mix things up? It's OEM specified and works for millions of cars.

I use to use their ATE Blue until the Feds decided people were too stupid to know it was brake fluid because it was blue. I have now switched to Castrol DOT 4. It replaces Castrol LMA (Low Moisture Absorption) and maintains high wet/dry temps.

I use Ate Superblue and also Type 200. I switch back and forth so it is apparent from the color change at each caliper when that caliper is flushed.

I like the Ate brake fluids.

A Liter is enough to flush the system.

It is all I have used in my dd/track car for over 7 years. Works great, but miss the blue though. Also, it is all I use in my clutch. Never an issue there either.

ATE TYP200 (and the old ATE Super Blue) are DOT4 fluids. A DOT4 fluid will have higher wet and dry boiling points and they are good fluids for autocross events and track days. The Prestone fluid is fine for regular street use. A DOT3 fluid at tracks where there is areas of hard braking will quickly cause that type of fluid to boil.

A quart (1 liter) will be more than enough to flush the lines. Use a turkey baster to suck as much of the fluid from the master cylinder reservoir before you start. Fill the reservoir with new fluid then start bleeding the lines.
