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

MOTUL Brake fluid

I started in the novice group with PCA instructors and mine said the stock brakes are plenty capable. I would suggest changing to a higher temp brake fluid like Motul RBF600 and the Gt3 brake ducts for additional cooling. The stock brake pads will work fine but if you plan to do this more consistently then it makes sense to invest more in a set of track pads

Pros: stock brakes capable

AP RACING Brake fluid

In my 981S I use the AP R4 fluid with less intense Ferodo DS2500 pads for time trials (handful of Max attack laps before the tires fall off).

Pros: good for time trials

ATE Brake fluid

Hey, just thought I would chime in that I had this same issue with my f30 335i and I probably found those same forum posts. I used the same ATE 200 in prep for a track day, started squeaking and thought it was the master cylinder, or just the brake pedal… then changed out for pentosin for 4 and it resolved it. Took a couple flushes to cycle it all out of the master cylinder though. But yeah, I can guarantee it’s just the fluid, but it may take a couple flushes like I mentioned.

Cons: brake squeak, multiple flushes needed
Vehicle: BMW

ATE Brake fluid

I've used Ate Typ 200 DOT 4 fluid in many cars over the past 20 years. Never had an issue. So when my 2020 M2 Competition was due for a flush, I ordered 2 liters from FCP Euro. Used my Motiv pressure bleeder and made quick work of the job. The next day I drive the car to work and start noticing a squeak from what sounds like the brake pedal. It starts getting worse the next couple of times I drive the car. I start digging for the source of the issue and can't find it. Googling to see if it's a common issue, I find a few forum posts of people having the same issue in their F30, F8x, etc cars after using Typ 200. Apparently, Typ 200 is not a Low Viscosity DOT 4 fluid. A few owners have even had BMW warranty their master cylinder because the dealers are unaware of the issue.

Pros: easy to use, quick flush
Cons: brake squeak, not low viscosity
Vehicle: BMW M2
