Default Brake fluids

I am flushing my brake fluid again. Last year I flushed the gold colored brake fluid and replaced it with blue "racing" brake fluid. I am satified that I have flushed the system when the fluid changes color at all four wheels. True?

Well the fluid I bought this year is gold colored but it does not look like the same stuff as the blue though it seems to have the same ratings.
Any problem here? Thanks in advance.

Ate Blue and Gold are the same product. If you want to step up significantly without going overboard financially, try Motul 600.

One thing to remember - that blue color doesn't completely go away when you go to gold. You'll whaste alot of fluid trying to get it totally gold.

Thanks Gordo, good to know. This will be the first time I have gone from Blue to Gold.

Perhaps a marketing trick by ATE???
