Shame that they don’t have the blue stuff anymore.

I’m an rbf600 sucker myself. Wish it was colored though

So I need to look elsewhere when my 3 cans are gone. My Motive bleeder is permanently stained blue.

Love Typ200, this stuff is awesome for a max effort car that sees street use. Used it in a very extensively in my Veloster that was geared towards autocross. Great stuff right here.

There was a federal standard that only allowed for clear to amber color for brake fluid. Thus the funky custom color had to go to still be legal.

It was banned because it was fucking blue.... Stupid ass government.
I use Motul Spec 5.1 personally.

Yeah, I was really bummed about that. I certainly would have paid attention to what fluid I was putting in which reservoir. Always do.

I still have a couple of sealed, unopened Super Blue that I bought just before they stopped selling it here.

I have typ200 in all of my automotive hydraulics except the clutch in the rx7, which will be getting it whenever I get around to bleeding/flushing it.

Remember, there was a time when a leaked fluid could be readily identified with nearly no doubt.
Clear-light amber: brake
Green: radiator
Red: ATF
Dark amber to black: oil
Gasoline is pretty slam dunk in the “clear and smells like gasoline#
So if you left a puddle, it was easy to figure out what is leaking.

Yeah, I mean I can appreciate that sort of mindless convenience to help simplify things. But banning blue brake fluid means banning another sort of convenience- the convenience of having a more definitive color change to look for when pumping new brake fluid through the lines.
And that’s all it should be about- convenience. Really, if somebody’s going to pay so little attention to what they’re doing that they’re going to ignore symbols and words and just pour-by-color, then maybe they shouldn’t be working on a car in the first place...

blue Brake Fluid is still sold here in Australia.

Identifying a mysterious puddle as brake fluid is useful. Especially given the standard was made in an era of single master cylinders.
