Brake fluid swapping

Are there any concerns going between ATE and Motul fluid from event to event? I'm using ATE this time. I'm told the boiling point is only a few degrees lower than Motul and it's cheaper. Any issues if I go to Motul for the next event?

Would like to hear this as well. Also, sort of off topic, but does anyone know if they make a fitting for the Motiv bleader specific to the Porsche? Thanks

These are both DOT 4 fluids, and should be completely compatible. I have done this swap myself. It is convenient to have the color change to know when the line has been completely replaced.

These days I use the Motul exclusively and count the number of times I pump the pedal to clear the line. 10-12 for the rears, 5-6 for the fronts.

Jon,
Thanks. Good to know as I was told that you shouldn't go from something like Motul back to OEM fluid. Don't know if that's true or not.
