That was over 6 years ago. What has ATE changed since, other than no longer using blue color?
When I was still doing trackdays with a bike. They had 2 colors. Amber and blue so the you could tell the difference when flushing a system. Then all of a sudden you couldn't get it anymore. When they started to import it again. They had to change to one color only and changed some of the properties in it to meet US standards or some other BS at that time from what I can remember.

10-4 same here and the stuff was great. I didn't realize when they ditched the blue they changed the formulation as well. Thanks!

Have you ever tested the fluid prior to flushing? If so I'm curious to the water %.



I use test strips and an electronic tester to determine when a flush is needed for my street car. Do the same for coolant. No reason to change either if they're still within the proper parameters.
I have not, but I am going to check it out!
