Default No more ATE Super Blue in the US

Just received this from a friend who owns his own shop...so if you run the stuff and want to stick with it, you better stock up while you can.

Agreed! I actually use 660 for track purpose, and could never get it to boil even after full day of hard driving and many many sessions.

I use Motul as well. When I ran my M3 we had issues with the ATE staining the reservoir and other stuff in the brake system so I switched over to Motul and have never looked back. Its going in the V this weekend now that I am starting to mod the car.

I'm currently using this for my clutch fluid, no problems and cheaper than some of the other fluids on the market. Because of the color, it makes it easier to completely bleed the system when switching between Super Blue and other fluids. Sucks it's getting banned.

That's absurd. ATE Type 200 is the same fluid without the blue color. I've used it. ...and Motul RBF 600.
