The 2021 Tech Inspection form specifies for Brake Fluid Flush ...
" Approved racing brake fluids (ATE 200/ Blue, Motul, Castrol SRF, etc.)
can be used up to 180 days)".

I use ATE 200 Gold (DOT4), since ATE 200 Blue has not been sold in the US since 2013. It was the same as 200 Gold, but had blue dye in it.

Is it safe to assume that the ATE 200 Gold is then also allowed to be use up to 120 days?

It says ATE 200 in the list you copied.

Please note 6 months can be pushing it. The only time I ever had a brake fluid issue was when I had ATE in the system for a little over 5 months. After that experience I would flush for every 1-2 events. Cheap insurance.

Yep.... I agree on 6 months is too long.
ATE is a great value and I have never had an overheat issue with it.

Opposite for me...I consistently had overheating issues with ATE in a 996. I took a step up to Motul 600 which is reasonably priced as well and haven't had an issue.

Been using ATE in all my cars, and all the race cars I work on, for decades. Full tilt race, track day, street. Zero issues. Ever.
