It's called ATE SuperBlue (they also recently came out with Gold). It's DOT 4. NEVER use DOT 5 as it is not compatible with our brake systems (excellent water absorption properties - or lack thereof, but silicon eats away at components)


Hi ya'll,
I'd like to 'flush' my brake fluid and I'm thinking that I need to use the blue/gold color German type fluid?? If so, where is the best place to get them? Also, is it DOT 3 or 4? I'm thinking that DOT 5 is Silicone type brake fluid and I don't want to go that way.
Thanks,
Patrick
