Either is fine.

ATE is best in there hands down (i have see in last over 5 times as long in countless cars)

Type 200 is undyed super blue. Best advice is get the type 200, do the brake and clutch fluid.

Does Motul 600 have similar results/qualities? Mine has been in there for about 9 months.

So some mixing of older Honda brake fluid is okay? If I use the easy Billman method of draining clutch reservoir and refilling (with ATE) a number of times over time, I understand there should be no issue, correct?

Yup no problem there, no need to bleed either. Just replace whats in the res.

Is there any appreciable difference between Honda DOT 3 and the cheap DOT 3 stuff I get off the shelf at O'Reily's? I've been changing my clutch fluid every 1000-2000 miles with the turkey baster method to keep it clean.

TYP200 is good. I thought it would be cool to switch out from super blue to the typ200, and back. But the blue dye basically stained my typ200; so it was difficult to know when to stop bleeding my brakes. Right now, it looks like I have fresh superblue in my resovior lol.

I bought the original one and is it normal to have low clutch fluid or could it be leaking

Bill, are you saying that periodic flushing (through bleeding) of the clutch fluid is not necessary? Are you saying that all I need to do is periodically suck out the reservoir, wipe the walls inside, and refill the reservoir with new fluid?

I'm currently running Valvoline DOT3/DOT4 synthetic brake fluid. Can I just suck out the reservoir and fill with ATE 200 Gold DOT4?

SheDrivesIt

Just for the clutch, I mean. I know the brakes need to be flushed clean periodically with a full bleed.

You have to bleed the clutch line if you let it get bad(from not changing) or you change anything in the clutch hydraulics, but if you just replace the reservoir fluid semi regularly, you'll keep from having to flush the system. Just remove old fluid, clean reservoir fill with new fluid, pump clutch like 50 times with the car off, then drain and fill again. Do this like 3 times a year if it's your daily.
