Anyone try the "newest" Ate fluid (SL6)?
Apparently, it's essential to the newest traction control systems. I've used Ate 200 (or racing blue) in all my cars without a problem. The new stuff seems to have lower boiling point, but thinner viscosity.

Hey Fifth,
My guess is no... it shouldn't impact how frequently/infrequently the ESP occurs.
Might give a negligible benefit when Brake Assist is activated in a panic stop, due to the lower viscosity... perhaps?
Overall, I think fade is the more prominent issue you might encounter, so I'd say stick with fluids w/ higher boiling points i.e. Super Blue/Typ200, Motul 600, etc. My $0.02
