So if I bleed them should I stick to stock fluid? Or is it okay to mix the stock with for example ATE Super Blue? Or any other fluid better

AP Racing Formula 5.1 is ideal for street and high-performance use. It has the ideal viscosity for ABS systems. Plus, it does not contain dyes that the "blue" fluids use to permanently stain the reservoir with.
