I too have switched from ATE to Motul. It's better fluid.

But a bleeder screw should not care what fluid is run.

Voo, next time use the cheap stuff until the pedal is stiff and then use the ATE until it bleeds blue.

I've noticed that ATE appears to be less viscous (seems like water) compared to Motul 600 that I use. I wonder if this could be a reason Speedbleeders don't work well for some, i.e. people using ATE.

I can't imagine there is a significant difference in viscosity of brake fluid. They all seem to pour the same and brake fluid isn't designed for viscosity its designed to not compress and not boil.

Why do you need to bleed your brakes?

RR,

I guess you haven't used this yet on your S since it's so new, but do you think it would do a good job on the S.

Vacuum bleeders suck.
