Brake fluid replacement
Talked to Rob K about this. Based on his recomendations I am going to change mine today with ATE Super Blue, that way I know my system is completely flushed and next year I will do it with Motul RBF600 which is a gold colour, each time you will know the fluid has been completely flushed cos of the colour change...anyway that is what I am doing and I don't track my car.

I would try getting the ATE Type200 it's the same fluid except it doesn't stain EVERYTHING blue like the Super Blue does.
Here's the "truth" about brake fluid...
You should replace the fluid every other year. Actually it is listed in your 15K service to be flushed annually, but every other year allows for what most manufacturers of the fluid consider "normal" use. Remember, it's hygroscopic and soaks up moisture like a sponge... For those of you not tracking, that's a bad thing.
Check the fluid manufacturer and porsche's recommendations for change intervals.
I'll NEVER go back to ATE fluid. It was not up to spec in my car in street driving, and for about the same money, Motul or GS610 is a heck of a lot better.
ATE Superblue wet 392 and dry 536 points vs. Motul wet 420 and dry 593 boiling points... Motul can be bought thru most vendors or motorcycle shops and will last under the hardest conditions, or daily driving.
