The Bounty Bar Kid Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 So I wanted to change my brake lines yesterday to some braided HEL ones. However when it came round to doing it, my mate who was gonna do it for me, said he couldn't as he only had Motul brake fluid and the one in my reservoir was blue in colour so I think he said it was synthetic or something. Anyways, he said he'd have to flush it all out as it can't have other brake fluid added to it. Anyways, my question is is which is better? The stuff I have in there now or to change? However I dunno what the blue stuff is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Without knowing what spec the blue stuff is, it's impossible to say which is better. Given that the Motul stuff is excellent, and new brake fluid is usually better than old brake fluid, I'd say change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember to follow the bleeding order specified on here and do not let the reservoir empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amstrange1 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Mine has the ATE Super Blue in it too, I think it's used by Abbey Motorsport fairly often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
