Yep, ATE. Could not remember the brand.

It was ATE SuperBlue that was common and is now not for sale in the US thanks to some silly regs on fluid color.

ATE SuperGold is the OE street version of ATE SuperBlue racing fluid, with the exact same specifications in a traditional amber colored fluid.

Track guys used to like to switch back and forth when bleeding brakes as the color change was helpful to know when you were swapped.

I stand corrected on the brand. Senior moment the excuse. :o

You syphon out and drain the old stuff before you even start. It's impossible to get all of the old out so you always have some mixing at first when you refill with new but it's in the calipers and quickly gets flushed out, once again, if you are doing it correctly.

If you are simply poring new fluid into a reservoir with old fluid in it, you don't know what you're doing.

I've got an unopened can, that i assume is fine since it's unopened and wrapped in lots of shrinkwrap since I bought it from Pelican Parts back when Wayne was still in charge.
