ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid

[T0M0]

Is this the going rate for this stuff??

Im getting Brembo HC's paired with Mintex1144's for the front and standards for the rear, also K-tec braided lines.

If can get the fluid bit cheaper elsewhere then links will be appreciated very much.

Ive read that 1 litre is enough for full change is that true???

Thanks in advance

ohh cool so ya got one spare eh wana sell it?

i would still be tempted to buy 2 especially if ur doing the lines aswell. are you doing it urself or getting a garage to do it, the garage that did mine used more than a litre simply because they said they lost quite a bit when the lines were taken off. theres probably a 'better' way of doing it to minimize fluid loss but obviously they didnt know.

 

[Chris_786]

Yeah got one spare mate but tbh what i paid for it + postage would make it just as expensive as buying from ebay.

yeah true suppose u'll still use it when needed eh?

 

[Chris_786]

Yeah will use it next major service i do on it and replace all the fluids together.

ATE really good stuff though, lets you see when the new fluid is through, and it really is an awesome color!

If you had dot 4 in the brakes before then 1litre will be enough to flush and replace, as long as you suck out the old fluid in the master cylinder first. Use 1/2litre per wheel if the old fluid was unknown or old and dark brown. ATE has been ok for me and have not boiled it yet on the track. GSF sometimes sell ATE blue for £16 litre. but they don't always stock it. Theres lots to choose from at Opie Oils on line.
