Awesome stuff.

Works great in my race motorcycle and very economical. Frankly, this is by far the best "bang for you buck" when it comes to break fluid. Yes, there are better, but they all cost at least twice as much. Wish I could still get the "Blue" and swap back between that and this so I knew when everything was fully flushed, but thank the government from that.

DOT 4 Performance Fluid lives up to the reviews

Good fluid. It's performance for the dry boiling point is not as high as other performance brake fluids or even the Ford Heavy Duty DOT 4 which is also a good cost option. But this fluid has a superior wet boiling point. So even if the fluid ages or if you get boiling of your fluid after a heavy day at the track you will still have a good fluid that exceeds DOT 4 performance. I have yet to hit a change interval with the fluid and will be going to a track event with fresh fluid. If I have problems I will report back but don't expect to have any problems.. at least with the brakes.

Replaced the brake fluid in my Mercedes.

I need to replace the brake fluid in my Mercedes. This is what was recommended, and I’ve had no issues.

Never stop stopping

I use this in my '05 Mazdaspeed Miata on the race track (Streets of Willow Springs, Big Willow, Laguna Seca) and have never seen a hint of brake fade. I still bleed the brakes before and after track days, but I always wonder if I really need to. This fluid is amber in color, not blue like the old stuff.

Excellent brake fluid for the money

This is about the cheapest brake fluid that is suitable for road racing, recommended by many teams I run with, it's cost allows you to flush the system every race or two without breaking the bank. Other fluids will out perform this, but at 2x or 5x the cost, making it too expensive to flush. Since I only race 3-4 times a year, flushing the system twice a year works out well, and doesn't break the bank. It's very resistance to higher temps found in endurance road racing, don't let the DOT4 rating fool you, look at the wet/dry boiling points and compare to others, it's a good choice for motorsports on a budget.

Best brake fluid for the money

I've been using TYP 200 for years, both on the street on the track, and never experienced any braking problems due to boiling fluid. Back in the good old days we used to alternate between this and ATE Super Blue, but the nannies at DOT decided it wasn't safe to know when all your old fluid was bled out (different color) when changing fluid. You can buy more expensive fluid with a higher boiling point but you'd probably be wasting your money.

Good brake fluid, and how to find the blue stuff

Yeah, this is good brake fluid. I use it in my Saab and the wife's Volvo. For those who are pining for the blue-colored DOT 4 brake fluid, ATE is still selling it in Europe. I recently bought some from an Ebay seller in the UK. It doesn't say "DOT 4" on the can, since it does not meet the Dept of Transportation specs, but it's the same stuff that ATE used to sell here in the US. I feel like a rebel when I bleed the brakes with my non-government approved brake fluid!

High quality, high performance brake fluid

ATE brake fluid. Great for racing/spirited street driving. I have this in my BMW and will be buying more when I do the brakes on my Porsche. This is much better quality than the DOT4 you get at AutoZone or the like. When you compare the price and boiling points, this stuff boils about 200 degrees Fahrenheit higher and costs about the same. There are some sites that sell this stuff about $5 cheaper (BavAuto, Pelican Parts), but that only helps if you can spend enough to get free shipping.

Trust your brakes to ATE!

Great as always, really sad they stopped making the "blue" version. But this is the only fluid I trust in my race car!

Great value for dot 4 brake fluid

Great value for dot 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a high boiling point and you get a liter vs the competitors offering at a similar price.
