You do realize that MINI will replace your brake fluid free every two years?

Just in case you dont know.

Maybe he's out of warranty? Or maybe he wants stuff that works better than OEM...

In my case its both. So you never know...

I alternate using Ate TYP 200 and Super Blue; two liters will do a complete flush.


Don’t forget to do the clutch slave. Notice the blue at the bottom of the catch bottle, that’s what’s left of the last change interval.

I use the Super Blue as well. Good characteristics for street and race, good price.

May not be on the site, but give Sam Strano a call and he'll get it to you. He's also an excellent source for advice and parts for suspension setup.
