Was shopping around for some ATE Type 200 and came across this link on the ATE website:

I have not heard of this "new" brake fluid they offer: SL.6
It has a slightly lower boiling point but it thin bodied for electronic braking systems such as ABS, VSA, and ESB. Seems like it would be easy to gravity drip/bleed and work well with the newer AP2s.

Can anyone chime in with any opinions?

 

Has gotten good reviews on Amazon. Wonder if it is miscible with Typ 200, DOT 4?

Answer I got from another board:

" In this case, I would not mix them (Type 200 and SL.6) at all. Type 200 is a normal viscosity DOT 4 brake fluid while SL.6 is a low viscosity brake fluid. Some manufacturer's require a low viscosity fluid and in some cars, the ABS system may perform better with a lower viscosity fluid. I would not recommend mixing two different viscosities together. You would be better off running 2 liters of SL.6 through your system which will effectively purge out the Type 200 and ensure fresh, air bubble free fluid in your braking system if switching to a low viscosity fluid is your plan."
