for next time. Winchester auto on Winchester in Campbell/san jose carrys ATE super blue. I just picked up a bottle last week to do my brakes. installed speed bleeders while I was at it(Winchester also carrys these) and the peddle is much harder now than previous bleeds the old fashion way.

a lot. it made the job so much easier. For me it made the job do-able as all my friends and family were either shopping or working before xmas. i'll be putting these on the wifes car this weekend.
with regard to people snapping them, the torque spec is like 4lb. or something crazy low for these things and the design with getting a ball and spring in makes them a little more delicate, but hand tight is really all you need.

not to keep going OT, but I just ordered a set for my wifes car at http://speedbleeder.zoovy.com/ . seems that this is the online store for speedbleeder.com and prices are less than oakos/others.

Personally, I accumulate mine until I go to a track day. The track facilities usually have some kind of chemical waste dumping and I drop my used fluid there.

BTW, I went to Winchester Auto... they had super blue... fricken $20/L but oh well. I'm not gonna waste another $5 in gas/wearntear trying to save that much.
Also found it looks like Valvolyn Syntech Brake fluid is back! But in a different bottle that is labelled "dot 3 & 4". However the boiling point is the same. I'm guessing they just relabeled this for wider sales (those people thinking they can only use dot 3)

Thanks, if I find any places I'll let you guys know. I keep accumulating bottles so I wanted to properly dispose of them.
Good to know that the Valvoline fluid is back -- I was wondering why they discontinued it. Great bang for the buck!
