Brake Fluid Castrol GTLMA Synthetic
I have serached the links and don't see anything about synthetic brake fluid. MB recomends a DOT4+ What does the + mean?
ATE Super Blue has been used by members which is a DOT 4. Castrol tells
me that they don't recomend the GTLMA fluid for our cars when it exceeds DOT 4
HELP!
Should I buy the MB fluid at 20 bucks a qt. Or get the Super Blue at 29 bucks.
I am guessing a qt will be enough to bleed out the brakes.
Your comments please.

Not sure about a 1999 model, but I know my 2007 needs to be hooked up to the STAR system so the abs module can be put in service mode. If this is not done, you don't flush all the fluid (in the ABS module).
Use the MB fluid unless you do more research on the specific viscosity properties.
