I've seen this issue tossed around but can't find the definitive answer. Does anyone know what type of brake fluid the 991S comes with? I heard that it might come with ATE Gold and therefore offer a bit better heat resistance than standard generic oem fluid. Anyone know for sure?

Just asking because when track days come around it would sure be nice ($) to get away without changing fluid right off the bat.

 

Good question. I looked for this once too and could not find an answer but I did come across this interesting tidbit:

Ate 200 Gold.

 

+1 with ATE Super Blue being the same stuff in a different color. By alternating between the two, flushing is simpler as you can see when all the old fluid is out.
