Thoughts on Super blue by "ate" brake fluid

It's time for me to change my fluids on my .1 gt3 and I wanted to see if anyone was using super blue brake fluid and how it was performing.

I tried it before and it boiled over.

I would suggest maybe Endless, Castrol SRF or Motul.

Not a fan of super blue as it stains the reservoir, and the max temp is not that high. Endless RF650 has worked flawlessly for me.

Not sure if warranty matters any more for you but there has been chatter about dealers denying claims after finding blue reseviours/lines. I've been using Motul RBF600/650 for years with excellent results. Have heard great things about SRF as well.

I'm surprised noone here is running Prospeed RS683. Many pro teams have moved over to it, including Robert Prilika.

I've never experienced Super Blue personally, but have heard complaints about it boiling before. I'll echo what the others are saying about Motul, SRF and Endless fluid. I have personally driven on those three without any issues.

No personal experience with Prospeed fluid, it looks like good stuff though, if not a little more expensive than the others.

ATE is ok for lighter cars and for DE drivers in green or intermediate groups it's not bad...you can alternate with it and ATE gold and I advise this to many students who are in those groups. Motul is more hydroscopic and gets a softer pedal quicker (from beginning to end of a sprint race for example) if it's not bled more consistantly.

SRF is bar none the best for advanced, solo, and racers, period. I've heard great things about Prospeed as well but I personally have not used it.

We have used Castrol SRF in the past and it has been the best on the market for a few years.....We have now switched to Endless for the performance it offers.........


Its what we run in our race cars ( ALMS, World Challenge, Club Racing ) and our road cars.......


Once you try it you wont use anything else.............. If you need a few bottles we have it in stock at all times.



Brake fluid is one of the least expensive mods you can make to your car when it comes to tracking it.. Its worth every penny and would not skimp on a lesser brand because of price.



Endless is also the factory fill in all Porsche Cup and RSR cars............. What does that tell you?
