Me too : years with ATE Dot 4 and 5 (not silicone, boiling point min 265°C) and no issues. 

Does hold well on the track too (but short 30 min sessions) and hillclimbing.

In Europe at least (I speak for Switzerland) it still comes in metal cans, which is a bonus (they guarantee a shelf life of 5 years, just checked the TDS).

A presto !

I’ve used the ATE with no seal issues. Does it still come in metal cans?

 At the risk of asking another of “those” questions, what’s the hive mind opinion on street brake fluid; TR6.   My go to was Castrol LMA, and the new stuff ain’t the same.  For the race car, Motul 600 was a popular option, but hardly a civilian fluid.   I am not looking to go silicone dot 5 either.  

 

What’s my best option for a street driven TR6, that won’t eat seals?   Happen to have a good amount of ATE Type 200 DOT 4 kicking around, but leary about Girling getting upset with me.  Yes, another rear wheel cylinder let go from sitting too much, or Castrol ain’t like it used to be…

Thoughts?  And, I fully expect 26 opinions from 13 people.  LOL

 

Thanks!
