It something that was changed and no longer "stock".

Definitely useful information for someone who is doing research and trying to make comparisons.

If I'm having issues and I find someone else with a similar set-up and no issues. Fluid information would be useful.

wait, how the hell is this our fault? The consumers arent the ones who did this, its just some BS federal standard.

And why doesnt ATE just put this out again without dying it blue? Im pretty sure we were all using it because it was good, not just because of the color, hell they can still call it "Super Blue" if they want.

They already are making an amber version. People liked to alternate between it and blue to make bleeding the breaks easier.

I imagine they are getting ride of Royal Purple's stuff too since it's dyed.

Super blue was never good, it was OK


Castrol SRF is good

Personal experience is that ATE absorbs moisture much more slowly than other brands, esp Motul.
