Brakes under high stress from performance driving events need a good brake fluid. In some venues, there are requirements for replacing your fluid once a year. Most consumers who drive on the street generally never pay attention to their brake fluid and if you take a look, it usually looks brown and dirty. Drivers of Panteras in Open Road Racing and track events will change their fluid regularly.

ATE Super Blue and ATE Type 200 Brake Fluids are highly recommended for the performance driver. The Super Blue is as the name states, blue in color, while Type 200 is amber. This combination creates a system that makes it easier to know when you've flushed the old fluid out and the new fluid in. To help even further with this chore, one can use a pressure bleeder.

Available from many racing product vendors, but found less expensive at Amazon.com.

Observe all safety precautions when changing and/or servicing the braking system of your vehicle. If in doubt, consult your local automotive professional.
