I only  ever use one of two fluids in everything.  When on a budget and for 
 road cars ate super blue (cheap, good high boiling point, comes in two  
colours which makes changes a breeze).  Otherwise castrol react (srf)  which 
has a stratospheric boiling point.  


Any reason I should consider any other fluids?

"Amber"

It
sounds  like most have forgotten that GT LMA was the new  fangled  stuff
that
we had to use when the original  correct  Castrol "Amber" fluid was gone..

If this  old codger  remembers
correctly...

text/plain;  charset=US-ASCII    Jim,    Some
of the  online pictures might  be  old.  The new Castrol
Brake  Fluid  DOT   4  has a higher boiling point
than  the old Castrol GT LMA, and I think  they  wanted  to
differentiate it from  the  old stuff, so they changed  the
name.  I  ordered the new stuff,  and,  although
not in the title, the description  on  the  back of the
container  states it  is Low  Moisture
Absorption.  So,  basically the same,  just
a  higher
boiling  point.    Kirk  B382000503
