Default ate super blue (pic)

need to change out my break fluid. so i picked up some super blue(1liter) today and i read somewhere here stating the left over can be used for clutch change also.


my question is, will it be enough for both changes?


thanks!

AFAIK it's recommended to use a regular DOT3 for the clutch. I do however have Super blue in my brake lines and I love it

Fade resistance at the Dragon was the true test. A few month old CR cooked his OEM fluid after a few runs but me and the others running Super Blue had superb stopping power even after 1hr of hard driving.

I use Super Blue for both brakes and clutch. I used a little more than 1 liter. I've run Sebring three times with it.

If done right, it will definitely be enough.

Brakes will use 3/4 of the bottle, there will be enough left to do the clutch res 3 times

I do notice (even though it's overkill) the ATE Super blue stays cleaner longer in the clutch res than reg brake fluid. It has proven this on many s2ks.
