BTW, thanks for giving us your "approval" of Rara's opinion.




I got my Super-Blue for $15 after a brief search that turned up a dozen retailers. Anyone who is using the forum is probably capable of placing an internet order. And most people here are much better at things like that than your typrical driver. What percentage of the owners of any model of car belong to an owener's group of any form? It's a dedicated DIY minority, in most cases. I was stating that you can go longer with this fluid than with other, which makes it perfect for people who do less frequent flushes. You will experience less degredation with ATE than anything else I know of, over any time interval. If anything, it should be the fluid of choice for the DIY person with better things to do than bleed the brakes. And I wasn't giving Rara my stamp of approval because he needs it. There are some newbies in this thread, and I was letting them know that Rara is the authority on the matter, while expounding on his answer with some more detailed tech.
