It seems this may be for modern systems, just wanted to make sure before using.

Thanks in advance,

That is all I run in the 914s.

There used to be blue brake fluid. Racers would alternate between the gold and the blue so they could tell when the fluid was completely flushed out. But the US DOT outlawed blue brake fluid, so all you can get is the gold now.

I still have four bottles of the blue... wink.gif Trade for a /6 engine...? smile.gif

The SL.6 is a low-viscosity version of the ATE200 "Amber". It's primarily for ABS-equipped cars for quicker response.

However, it's perfectly fine for use in our cars, though note that the wet boiling point is ever-so-slightly lower than the ATE200 (only 10-15 degrees). Perfectly fine for street use.

I've used ATE 200 (and whatever Blue I have left) in my street and race cars for decades.

Thanks, I was good with the brand, it was the SL.6 that was making me wonder if it was ok. And this car will be street so not worried about lesser boiling point.
