Aashish,

I run ATE for 2 seasons now. This year will be the third. And I do lots of track and street driving with it. As stated above - I really like that they make it in 2 colors - really easy to know when you did a complete flush.
With brakes you can't "overkill". BTW, Motul 600 has higher boiling point (600F) than ATE (536F)... So it is even more of an "overkill" than ATE.
You can't go wrong with ATE - I tested the "old" ATE fluid with 3-4 track events and ~10K miles and it had very high boiling point, just little below the dry specs.
And ATE didn't let me down on some pretty hard laps around the Glen. My front rotors were at 750F after full cool down lap.

What's the smallest size container you can buy?
If that is a huge can you will throw most of it away
Once you open it, you use it
You cannot/should not half use a container and then use it up the next time because by then it is shot

Been using this stuff for 20+ years
Dry boiling point of 570 Degrees F

Nice to see you supporting local business! Stainless Steel Brakes used to be in Scottsville I believe. Just looked them up and they are now in Clarence, NY

Doug, ATE comes in 1 liter containers. It takes me about 3/4 of the bottle do to the lines, and I use the remainder to flush my clutch fluid. Barely any waste and it's only $15 a bottle.

Thank you for the info on the size. You are the first one to answer the question pertaining to quantity

Keep in mind that Super Blue can sometimes stain the brake reservoir and make it a bit more difficult to read level in the future. In upstate I would order it or TYP 200 form raceshopper.com (out of Syracuse).

The fluid I use comes in 12 oz bottles
A complete flush can be done with just 2-3 bottles
Any that is left over is only a small portion of the bottle and I use that to top off the master cylinder at the track if needed
And then typically before I went home I would empty the container into the recyle drum at the track, throwing away an ounce or two

Yup, always glad to help the locals, however, the key is, it's a superior product to ATE Super Blue
So many people get caught up in what's popular, where as I believe the specs are the key to deciding

ATE Super Blue
"Boiling point minimum: 536 degrees F"

Stainless Steel Brake Co. Brake Fluid
"With a dry boiling point of 570 Degrees"

There is a huge difference there, an extra 34 degrees is a big deal to me.
