Default Brake fluid

Dumb question but is ATE super blue brake fluid compatible with my 98 z28? I plan on doing a flush but want to make sure it will mix with stock fluid also.
Any of our sponsors sell ATE super blue?

its probably cheaper through amazon. its where i get mine. its compatable, but it should also say in the description and on the bottle itself, whether or not its compatable (which it is). you can also get both the red and blue through amazon, so you can tell when you fully flush one fluid out and have new fluid to each caliper.

Just be sure to get as much of the old fluid out of the master cylinder before starting. Will make the bleeding go much quicker.

Suggestions for a good way to do this?

turkey baster. as long as you dont suck too much out and empty the master, introducing air into the system. the longer but safer way is to just keep pumping and bleeding from the right rear.

You can get a flavor injector at Walmart that works well for this. It's great and I haven't had any dripping issues with it. I use it to change the clutch fluid out in the reservoir on the TA and on the Z06.

But like EchoMirage said, make sure you don't empty the master, just get the majority of the old fluid out.
