I have always used Valvoline Synthetic, it is cheap readily available and has a Dry Boiling point of 511F and a we boiling point of 350F. (From Memory) If I race the car (weekend warrior nothing serious), I flush the system at least 2 times a year and usually use a quart to do so each time. On our daily drivers I do it every 2 years depending on the color and the specifics of the vehicle such as mileage, towing so on.

I have used Ate super blue for 5 years in two different cars on the track and never had issues with the stuff - and I brake HARD. Its fairly inexpensive (about $20) and I have gone as many as 3 track days between bleeds. I am getting ready to bleed the clutch with it this weekend too. Its not a big deal, just try the Ate or Motul - they are both going to perform well, and you should bleed the brakes every couple of track days anyway.

I rotate between ATE superblue and ATE type 200...mainly because of the color.

valvoline synpower here too, great fluid for the price. you can get the big bottle for 8 buck in every autostore in USA.

flush them out once a year, the dot 4 stuff absorbs in water faster than dot3

the only bad thing about valvoline is that they are amber/clear which you might have a harder than seperate them from oem juice(assuming they are flesh not dirty)

So get this, today wile looking for some cleaner in my garage I stumble across a full but opened bottle of non silicon Motul 5.1. I have no idea where I picked this up from, it has to be at least 2 years old. Maybe I got it for my KTM bike. So I guess since its been open this whole time it is no good anymore right?

Why did you get the braided lines when factory brake lines are already braided (dont let the rubber protection fool you)?
they are only good to a point & pedal travel is half way done or a lil more. with the stoptech lines & ATE fluid, the pedal stays high up during extreme braking & makes a world of difference. you can feel the difference & i recomend it highly.
