G’day,

If you’re interested in using ATE Dot 4 brake fluid and you can't find it
locally you can get it here:

Note that is says the Super Blue is not DOT approved for Florida. This is
strange as I bought 3 liters of Super Blue and 3 liters of Type 200 from a
hot rod VW shop in Orlando!

and Type 200:

I can attest to this stuff, my first trip to the mountains resulted in a total loss of brakes coming down. I then researched the different brands and types and came down to either the ATE or Ford brake fluid. The ATE had slightly better boiling point number both wet and dry so I went that direction although a bit more pricey. I am totally sold on the stuff and switching between blue and the gold makes total flushing easy to monitor, when the color changes you know you have totally flushed the old.
