Brake Fluids ?

[Ndx]

Amsoil DOT3
ATE Super Blue Racing DOT4+


I'm hands down Amsoil believer but ... I wonder if that German ATE is good for Mazda ... Why BLUE it easier to see when new blue fluid is coming out .. Now I have amber one.
And I'm planning to do flush ...

Amsoil and ATE are both known for quality products.Amsoil's brake fluid is pretty high spec for a DOT 3.
ATE has very good boiling point numbers.

My opinion is go with whatever is least expensive and change it every 2 years.Either of these choices is excellent.

I definetely notice a difference in braking with the Ate Super Blue! supposed to be a boiling point of 575F. The stuff by Wilwood is like 576F

Any Ideas how much fluid I need for full flush using Motive bleeder ? 1L or More ?

I was under the impression it wasn't a good idea to replace dot3 fluid with dot4. Or am i confusing dot4 with dot5+?

 

[Trav]

Dot 3 Dot 4 Dot 4+ and Dot 5.1 are all polyglycol based and can be used.
Dot 5 is silicone based and is not compatible with any of the above.

1 qt or ltr should be enough.

I flushed the brake system andonly needed abou 3/4 of a litre, but I had one person pumping the brake pedal, 1L should be enough.
