Q: Super Blue vs. Super Gold

Can someone edumacate me on this. Can I stay with Super Blue, or should I move on to the Super Gold brake fluid. What is the difference and benefits?

Thanks

If you are speaking of ATE Super Blue and Super Gold products, they are identical except the color. The idea is when changing fluid, use the opposite color to make the transition easier to see. If you have standard fluid in now, use the blue for the first flush. Next time use the gold.

Hope that helps.

Well, that makes sense. Of to my closet I go to find my sign. I will be wearing it for the rest of the day.

No worries. I have also heard of vendors pushing Gold for those who don't want to "stain" their bake system with the blue. Not sure what that is about ...
