Default motul rbf 600 or ate super blue

i was recommended either of these two brake fluids so i was wondering if there were any places locally like a shop that i can buy them? if not then i suppose i'll just order online.. anyone know the best place to order online if locally doesn't work out?

thanks in advance

I get Super ATE Blue and Gold at cost. I just need to order a "bulk" enough order to get it. If you're interested in getting the ATE fluid, then I'm game for ordering the bulk between the two of us. If anyone else wants in, then better.

Is the ATE as good as Motul? I think Andrew @ Suja1 said he boiled ATE and was now useing Motul. I want to do a track day in about 3 weeks and was advised to change my brake fluid. I think I need about two quarts, is that right?
It was great meeting you at the BBQ @ Suja1

Harry, thanks for the info.

Tommy, I can get it within a week of order. I'm not sure about this week due to the July 4th weekend.

Give me a call when you get a chance....in fact, if anyone else needs/wants the ATE, please let me know. That way, I can order one or two pallets of bottles (make sure there's enough for everyone that wants some).

how many of ATE do I need if I want to bleed both the brake and clutch?

P.S. Hello Harry , It was very glad to meet you that day! Thank you for the lunch!

The clutch lines see no where NEAR the heat of the brakes, and the DOT3 fluid will be less hydroscopic than the DOT4 fluids so it will last longer.


I use ATE Superblue on my track car. I have boiled it, but only when I was having other problems or my brake pads were too thin to help dissipate the heat. Motul600 is also very fine fluid.

Quite a few people will trade between Motul and ATE because of the difference in the colors (instead of going between ATE blue and ATE gold.)
