Makes sense, but I wouldn't do that myself. I learned my lesson on buying cheap when I bought Stance.

I was only asking out of pure curiosity. Glad it works though.

Typically it's Valvoline or Prestone, so it's still high quality stuff. Same as I use in all my other vehicles. There is no advantage in running Ate or Motul in my clutch. Now a car with the headers closer to the slave/line , slave in bell housing or other factors , Yes I would use it.

Also the normal Dot 4 fluids last longer

I have 1 L of the super blue. I'm installing a bbk on the Z. Curious about this. Lasting longer but having to change fluid more often then? Or? Just curious. Worth putting it in? Normal driving-nothing extreme at all.

just did a brake pads/rotors replace and bleed . . the shop said it took only one bottle of Motul RBF 600 (which is 500ml, one qt approx) . I was expecting it to take 2 and a half bottles.

I am confused, is the old fluid still in the system ? Mine is a 07 HR Non - Brembo

Do i need to do a full bleed again to make sure all the old fluid is out ?
