Default Brake Fluid Concern

Im going to replace the brake fluid on my car tomorrow. Question is, if i change brands (Ate, Fuchs etc...) would i need to bleed the clutch master and slave clinder as well or not?



Also, my ATE supplier said that if i use the blue brake fluid he said that i MUST change the brake line with SS ones, true/false?

Not required, but you should bleed anyway.

False.

I have blue in my car, no SS lines. That fluid is great, so I agree with everyone else. Not required.

The thing is, he's German and he was factory trained by Porsche (i think).

That is one of the reasons i left his business and went for a more knowledgable place.

Factory trained by Pish you mean. Thats total bollox.

s/s line dont actaully allow any more pressure, they are just the same spec lines with s/s braiding woven over it. The s/s is not there to add strength to the lines, its for decoration and helps corrosion prevention. A 50bar rated brake line thats standard and a 50bar rated brake line thats s/s will perform exactly the same.
