You should be able to. Good fluid for the price (some will argue this, but I like it). It does stain the reservoir blue over time, so I'd consider using TYP 200. If you're alternating the two fluids as most do then use TYP 200 next time.

I've never really thought about the reservoir getting stained, but that's a good point. I alternate the blue and gold (TYP 200) fluids in both the clutch and the brakes so I can easily determine when the flush is complete

I also like that it comes in a metal container for peace of mind. Not that I'm really that concerned, but some people say the plastic bottles deteriorate and mix into the fluid over time :shrugs: Obviously it's not affecting performance or it would be a more common topic of conversation.

The worst thing about SuperBlue/ATE fluid is that they come in enormous cans.
