I’ve got motul rbf600 in mine and it makes it a few months at a time so I don’t even worry about it now. If it feels fine it probably is fine

Pros: feels fine
Cons: fluid darkens over months

On my C7, I moved up to the RBF 600 and it's been much better, handling the higher brake temps from the heavier car.

Pros: handles higher temps, much better

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
