COLORED brake fluid. | BobIsTheOilGuy
Dec 19, 2012 · In my experience, I always thought the color change thing was oversold anyway, and disliked how the dye stained the fluid reservoir, albeit not permanently. Or how, despite one's best efforts to suck the reservoir dry of the old blue fluid, the remaining unreachable traces would invariably mix with and tint the fresh fluid.
Brake fluid turned green; why? | BobIsTheOilGuy
Oct 16, 2018 · What makes brake fluid turn green, when it starts out light tan to gold? Flushed the factory fluid on one of my vehicles after 2 1/2 years.

Dot 3 brake fluid - BobIsTheOilGuy
Jun 12, 2005 · It seems most European cars specify reqular fluid changes, US suppliers focus more on low maintenance.

Green brake fluid | BobIsTheOilGuy
Feb 8, 2009 · When I flushed the brake fluid in my 1999 Trans Am (flushed in 2005 - 6 years of use) the fluid was a dark nasty green color.

That fluid was only 2.5 years of use.

Honda Pilot Brake fluid change/flush | BobIsTheOilGuy
May 21, 2017 · I use the vinyl tubing with a 2L bottle as a catch can. It works great. I can bleed all four wheels by myself in maybe 30-45 minutes if I'm taking my time. With the tubing you can see the color of the brake fluid go from a brownish color to clear. Very satisfying to watch!
BEST DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID - Bob is the Oil Guy
May 14, 2014 · By the way, ATE Super Blue is identical to Typ 200 except for color. It's off the market in the USA because the DOT specifies the color of brake fluid and blue is not approved. It was great while it lasted because you could switch every flush and you could easily tell when all the old fluid was out. Typ 200 goes from dirty amber to green to blue.
Asian vs. Domestic DOT 3 Brake Fluid | BobIsTheOilGuy
