ATE Brake fluid

ATE is all I use in my Road Racing Vintage Car. Flush once a year, great braking, I'm in a Pinto that can outbrake most Miatas, it generates some good heating and the fluid does great, no complaints.

Pros: great braking, no complaints
Vehicle: Ford

Ate 200 caused my master cylinder in my M2 Competition to squeak. Wound up having to re flush with OE low viscosity fluid then again with SRF. It's a known problem in a few cars.

Cons: caused master cylinder squeak
Vehicle: BMW M2

On my Miata I run ATE Typ 200 and aven’t had any issues. I also run Hawk HP+ and some here would say they’re not a track pad, but for a light car they’re great.

Pros: great for light car
Vehicle: Mazda 5

For our light weight cars, ATE Typ 200 is good for basically all applications, up until you’re getting into high horsepower builds (motor swaps, high boost forced induction).

Pros: good for all applications
Cons: not for high horsepower

ATE Original TYP 200 is the GOAT. Look at the wet pointing point: 388F for ATE. 401F for Motul. An extra 13F isn't worth the price difference.

Pros: great performance, good value

ATE Typ 200 is more than enough for autocross & daily and lasts longer between recommended full flush.
