Reading around, apparently the only contention is the color of the fluid… The government says brake fluid can’t be any other color than clear. Why? I’m sure there is a reason, but at the moment this just seems dumb. Especially since this fluid has been on the market for ages. ---

Im sure they can reformulate it to a clear…blue was probably a marketing gimic in the first place to set it apart from “standard” fluid. Either way the Govt needs to focus on other things than the color of brake fluid. ---

They already have a clear version I think. And the blue wasn’t a gimmick, it made it easy to see when you had removed the previous fluid. I’d like to know the reason this law exists to begin with. Maybe there is an engineering reason? :gotme: ---

Probably has to do with not being able to visibly determine the condition of the liquid? ---
