Default Need Brake Fluid

going to change my pad and flush the brake system this weekend. I wanted to replace the fluid with ATE super blue but I do not know where to purchase off the shelf. Any info as to where to purchase?? I live in Long Island (Ronkonkoma)

I'd recommend Motul 5.1 instead

Default Stay away from ATE Super Blue....your clutch will thank you

If you search the archives, you will read about the complaints of people who have used it. Stick with Motul 5.1 as the others have recommended.

The Superblue never bothered my car, but I also switched to RBF600 just to be safe.

Default I started get squeaking from clutch pedal after about a month.

After switching to 600 it went away.
There no need to take chances when parts cost $$$.
