ATE Super Blue is compatible and will mix with most DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 Fluids. This top-of-the-line product lies 20 °C over the DOT 5.1 standard and surpasses this standard in nearly all the other requirements as well. This means that cars can go without a brake fluid change for up to 3 years while products with a lower wet boiling point have to be replaced considerably more often (e.g. DOT 3 products should be replaced annually). The Motul RBF 600 seems to require frequent replacement, which is why I chose to steer clear of this fluid. Am I missing something?
