ATE Superblue locally in Tampa??
I like to flush with superblue - then go with Motul 600 the blue lets me know when it's completely flushed - anybody know where I can pick up a liter?

Sorry, no super blue. But I have other racing fluids if you need something quick. super blue has been surpassed by the competition, while I agree it's nice to see a color change when flushing. The fluid has been around in it's current form for nearly 20 years and is just not up to par with the newer stuffs. If you can find Project Mu fluid it goes one step further it's Florscent Green when new but the dye is temperature sensitive and when it passes 300 degrees C (572 to US) it becomes clear so you know when it's been heated up close to boiling. (boiling is 635 degrees F)

What we really need is brake fluid compatible dye that you can add to any fluid to get the same effect as SuperBlue. Anybody ever heard of anything like that?
I'm running SuperBlue right now but I intend to switch it up to something better the next time I flush my brakes. That will take me from blue to gold, but after that I'm SOL without some sort of dye additive.

Food coloring dyes are water based, and since your fluid is hygroscopic it should mix with your fluid in a homogeneous mixture. then as you flush your old fluid taking the dye (and it's water) with it.
while I think this is over kill It should work.

What about putting a little ATF or something in there? No moisture in it. If you're just flushing it out anyway, I can't imagine it would hurt anything. It would give a nice red/pink color.

How much for the Project Mu fluid?
And vertex auto has it superblue for $15 a liter and one day shipping via UPS from Miami.
I'll flush it out with Motul RBF 600

why does it matter that you completely flush the system twice? when I switched to the motul I did the usual start from the furthest wheel and work in, then went back once i finished and did the two back wheels again... That pretty much gets out all of the old fluid and you don't have to do two system flushes. From the tests I've seen, motul rbf600 is the best stuff besides castrol SRF... i thought i read a few months back about something like an rbf660, but havent seen it for sale anywhere.
