Did you know a different brand of brake fluid will change performance?

I never would have thought that a DOT4 from different brands would make a noticeable difference.

I've been using Castrol GT-LMA dot 4 fluid for about 25 years. It's cheap and seems to last.

On Sunday while helping a friend clean out his garage, I came across a case of ATE dot 4 fluid in blue color. I asked him how old is it, he said he bought it 6 months back at a car show, for $20. So he gave me a couple of cans, telling me it's great stuff, and really made a difference in his Carrara 4.

So this morning I filled up my power bleeder with this blue stuff, and flushed out the one week old GT-LMA

So no other changes in the system, and I bled them the same way as always.

The brakes feel a bunch better with this ATE fluid! I could not believe the difference.

I know what I'm saying does not make sense, but I would not make this up.
