Default Break Fluid again

I've searched all the local auto part stores looking for Motul 600 or ATE super blue, but have had no luck. the closest I've been able to find is ATE SL. It's DOT4 fluid, also meets DOT3 standards and has a Dry boiling point of 500'F and a wet boiling of 165'C (i can't remember what the converson is and don't feel like doing it again). Would there be any problems using this. The only options i can think of are to get Gunk break fluid from AAFES or have something shipped from the states and that really isn't practical.

Thanks

here is the info from their web page
--------------------------------------
Original ATE Brake Fluid SL

DOT4 quality proves itself time and time again.

Standards conformed to:

FMVSS No. 116 - DOT4 and DOT3*
SAE J1703
DIN/ISO 4925

I bought my DOT4 Super Blue Racing brake fluid from LAPD. Just hated pouring a Ford product into my vette but the stuff is good so what the hell, buy and use the best you can afford.
