No, not booze! As long as we have a heading, post your favorite vital fluids and any comments you might have so others can learn from your experiences:
Motor oil: LubroMoly Energy 0W-40 (much less valve noise than Mobil1. Full synthetic oil. Pressure at 1st mark even idling w/fans in traffic.
Trans oil: Redline MT-90 (or will be once I change it)
Brake fluid: ATE Super Blue Racing DOT4 (alternated with ATE Super DOT4, same fluid, different colors. Makes it easy to know when you're done bleeding)
Power Steering: penzoil high-mileage PS fluid. Smaug drools from his rack so nothing fancy. Not using ATF - no bad effects and almost no hiss.
Coolant: Water/Zerex 60/40. (thinking of adding redline water wetter next flush)
Copy, paste and edit with your favorites.

I remember reading this & thought it was a great idea.
I need to renew my fluid soon so today looked it up to see where I could buy it.
I found that it has been outlawed in the US only because legislation states that brake fluid can only be clear or amber.
What a stupid reason to ban something very sensible.

I understood the same thing to be true - no more super blue. Where did you find yours, Steve?

OG racing Sterling Va.
A look at their web sight now says no longer available
Bleeding out their stock, I might have gotten their last bits.
It was very easy with a bleeder to see the color changes.
