ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid in Dallas?
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid in Dallas?
My only concern with Motul Racing 600 is its hydroscopic nature. I'm looking to keep the fluid changes to a minimum. (I use the Motul in my bike, but have to change to fluid at the start of the season.)
Fluid DRY WET
Castrol LMA DOT 3/4 446 311
Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3 550 290
ATE Super Blue Racing 536 392
ATE TYP 200 536 392
Motul Racing 600 585 421
Castrol SRF 590 518
Performance Friction 550 284
**Notes**
Castrol LMA is very good at rejecting moisture and may be kept in your brake system for a couple years. The LMA stands for "Low Moisture Activity". It comes in plastic containers which do not have a long shelf life. Don't buy lots of this stuff at a time because moisture can make its way through the plastic containers.
Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3 is VERY inexpensive and is popular among racers because of its excellent dry boiling point. It absorbs moisture quickly, but the racers don't care since they change their fluid frequently. Comes in metal cans so it may be stored.
ATE Super Blue Racing and ATE TYP 200 are the same brake fluid in two different colors (blue and amber, respectively). BMW recommends this brake fluid for their street cars because it, like Castrol LMA, absorbs moisture very slowly. The advantage over LMA is that ATE has a much better wet boiling point. You can put this stuff in your car and forget about it for a long time. An excellent choice for a weekend track car which also sees regular street duty. Comes in metal cans.
Motul Racing 600 is a very exotic and expensive synthetic fluid with high wet and dry boiling points. I use this exclusively in my race cars. Too expensive for the street and requires frequent changing due to its hygroscopic nature. Sold in plastic bottles. It is not suitable for the street because it absorbs moisture quickly.
Castrol SRF is a hyper-exotic and hyper-expensive brake fluid that is generally used by wealthy Porsche owners at track events. I've seen prices of $78 per liter for this stuff. Sold in metal cans. I can't afford this stuff!
Performance Friction High Performance DOT 3 has a good dry boiling point but a crummy wet boiling point. It comes in metal cans which is good for shelf life and sells for $7.87 per 16 ounce container. If you are even considering this fluid, I would go with the cheaper Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3. In either case, change this fluid frequently due to the poor wet boiling point.

What up EVO dogs? This is my first post, but this was also the only car board that I ever visit, that had this info.
Just to add a few other sources, found out that Autoscope in Plano carries Super Blue and Type 200. Gonna pick some up after work. If you're close to Tyler, BMP Designs carries it, as does Bobbie Archer Motorsports in Ft. Worth.

Since Autoscope is closed on Saturdays, I called a whole bunch of places, and found two more. Jotech in Garland carries Super Blue, but not the Type 200. I ended up getting some Type 200 at Boardwalk Porsche in Plano... of course, I paid a Porsche price too, but I was desperate.
