Default ATE Super Blue or Motul 600 Brake Fluid?

As above, would be grateful to hear from people that have had both and their preference.

Also how much is required for a full system bleed and fill?

Both are good. Shouldn't need more than a litre.

Just did some research and Super Blue has a higher wet boiling point, so will be going for that. Just need to find a retailer now.

The Motul is 216C and the ATE 198C (or at least that what is says on the bottle in my garage).

Same source as you for the Motul, this for the ATE -

http://www.performanceoilsltd.co.uk/brake_fluid.html

Which upon reflection is in fahrenheit. I am tired in my defense. In any case according to that site they have the same wet boiling points. I may just go for the Motul as I've ordered from opie before and not had any problems. ATE seems to be hard to find at a recognised retailer, on the first page of google anyway.

You can get the ATE on amazon.

FWIW, the small difference in boiling points is unlikely to make any difference to the likes of you and me!

Opie don't appear to sell it at the moment. What do you prefer about it?
