Local place to buy ATE Brake fluid?

[TurDz]

Anyone know a local place to pick up a few cans of them?

Looking for Super Blue and the Typ 200 Gold versions.

I live in the Hayward/Union City area. Thanks.

Do you mean Motul??


Anyways, ATE Super Blue is awesome brake fluid, and much cheaper than other racing brake fluids, which in most cases have only marginally higher boiling points.

It is $12 per liter, when motul 600 is $15 per 1/2 liter, the boiling point is 60deg F higher.

Super Blue doesnt have to be changed often either, you can leave it in for up to 3 years.

Negative on that one....

I had mine for maybe a little over a year. Didn't realize it, but after I changed it out this weekend, there's a HUGE difference in pedal feel/performance. So much travel after initial bite. Lots of air/moisture probably got into the lines.

Since Ate SuperBlue/Type 200 is a DOT4 fluid, it's still recommended to be changed more often than usual.

Negative.
Go to the ATE website.

Did you regularly bleed it?

Sure it may have made a huge difference if it had air bubbles in the system and then you replaced the fluid and then bled the brakes it may have gotten better, basically because the brakes were properly bled.

What "changing" it means is completely flushing the system and using ALL new brake fluid. Not bleeding the system and adding 1/8 of a liter of fresh fluid.

No I never regularly bled it.
