I have some of this on the shelf....I was going to be using it when I put the Viper / Brembos on my 72 Runner.

Anyway looks like this came out in August of 2013:Super Blue Brake fluid is now not available to use in the USA?

That sucks. Hopefully retailers keep carrying it for offroad use only.

I just read your reply on the other thread about using the blue and the 200 and being able to tell the difference between the color for a complete fluid change indication.

I just called Tire Rack and they only have the ATI-200

The Super Blue is history.

Switching between the super blue and the ATE 200 was just too easy...

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Super Blue is crap anyways. I boiled that stuff in my 2855 lbs. S2000 which is mostly stock.
I use Castrol SRF now, much better

How fresh was it when you boiled the Super Blue fluid?

Castrol DOT 4 synthetic. Never boiled, never corroded, never a problem. 160 MPH door car, hard on brakes, never a problem. Same stuff we put in MB's and BMW's. Always no problem HTH HJ

I used a fresh brand new sealed bottle like I always do before each trackday, boiled at the next to last session at Thunderhill this past spring. Flushed it with Castrol SRF and did the same in the summer with higher ambient temps and pedal feel felt awesome all of the session start to end

Motul RBF600 or RBF660. Match that up with a good set of pads, rotors and lines and you're good to go.
