Wow! What caused Super AutoToyz to fail a second time? I guess the new owners probably didn't learn from the mistakes of the previous owners.

I just spoke to Steve and Luxury Motorworks does not sell it. Worse case I can order it from bavauto, but I prefer to purchase in person.

Thanks.

I have some extra lying around somewhere. To be quite honest, you would be fine with regular fluid if its going in a street car.

I called superautotoyz and they don't even carry them at all. Just get the castrol synthetic brake fluid, works good.

Pelican Parts in El Segundo deals with mostly Germans cars. They have ATE fluids, but you'll have call 48 hrs in advance for pickup. No walk-ins.

I saw a canister of ATE fluid, along with Redline products at DDM Tuning in Huntington Beach the other day.
