  • OEM = suck
  • DOT 3 = suck
  • DOT 4 = good
  • SuperBlue is not sold in the USA
  • ATE TYP 200 is superblue without dye
  • Motul RBF600 is better
  • Castrol SRF is the best

Don't mix any brake fluid besides 3 & 4.
Adding DOT 5 will mess your sh*t up.

You forgot about 5 and 5.1. Don't confuse the two. 5 is silicone base and doesn't mix with 3, 4, and 5.1.
