There was some discussion about Blue not being available in the 'States. It is great stuff and half the price of its competitors. You can google it for a sales location near to you. If the racing blue is not available, I am given to understand that the racing formula is also available in "normal" amber color.
Best, Tom

I was using Motul RBF 660 for quite some time, then started using Endless RF650 which I personally love.
Oops! I just got schooled! I guess I need to read better! I somehow thought the Diablo was a cool homebuilt.
Back to brake fluid. You are looking at maintenance of viscosity, minimizing compressibility, and resistance to water absorption. And of course, price.
The reason I use ATE Super Blue is that it is equivalent to Motul and others at half the price. As we maintain multiple cars the savings are significant. Motul is over $60 a quart up here, I sell ATE for $29.00. It has great compressibility and absorption resistance and a dry boiling point greater than 536 degrees F. More than adequate for FM use; we use it on the McLaren CanAM car where temps are significantly higher and have no problems.
You cannot go wrong with any "name brand" synthetic brake fluids. I honestly believe most are very similar. For me, when all else is the same, I choose based on price. Super Blue is a super deal!

Motul Rbf 600 for many years, occasionally I will splurge for Castrol SRF
