ATE Typ200 Gold (DOT 4) has a dry boiling point of 536F and a wet boiling point of 396F. ATE Typ200 Gold is identical in specification to the ATE Super Blue brake fluid. Typ200 Gold is compatible and will mix with most DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 Fluids. This top-of-the-line product lies 20C 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 overall high dry and wet boiling points make this fluid an excellent choice for street driven vehicles where brake fluid is flushed less frequently than in racing cars. Also, the blue tint of the fluid makes bleeding brakes easy! You can easily tell when you have flushed out the older fluid.
TIP:Racers frequently will alternate fluid flushes using both the SuperBlue and Typ200 Gold. The identical specifications of the fluid and difference in color makes it easy to know when you have completely flushed old fluid out of the system. |
