Unless I am reading it wrong, the only problem with the blue is that it is blue.
Sure took the Feds a while to figure this one out. [roll]
QuoteContinental Aftermarket GmbH (Continental) is recalling certain ATE Super Blue Racing DOT 4 Brake Fluid, for use as aftermarket replacement brake fluid. Each type of brake fluid has a color requirement to assist in proper type identification. The affected brake fluid is blue in color, not in the range of colorless to amber, therefore it fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 116, "Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids."
Excluding color ATE Super Blue and TYP 200 are identicle. The only problem is blue is not allowed for street use is, as quoted by ducatiz, color. No need to panic.
not allowed for street use? Then I misunderstood . . . It can happen to a tired mind . .
I use it on my bike and car . . . Ok, when I have an extra $35/liter to purchase it . . if not regular DOT4
