I like to use ATE Super Blue fluid for a flush. It's about $9/liter at FCP Groton, but meets or exceeds DOT 4 specs. And for a job so worthwhile but so seldom done, what's another $5 or so?

What I like most is seeing the blue color come out the bleeder—telling me that line is flushed thoroughly and avoiding wasted fluid. The 1-liter does the non-ABS 240 with some left over—so it's more than enough for your ABS.

Make sure you can get fluid from ALL the bleeders before you start. Finding a problem part way thru takes a lot of the fun out of it.
