Motul RBF660 is a good one too.

Motul usually costs more then the Ate though. I like using the colored fluid because at flush time I buy the other color (the Ate comes in blue and gold), when the fluid changes color at the bleeder, you have removed all of the old fluid. :trustme:

I know, I used to do the same on my 996. That blue dye sucks, however. It's easy to tell when you have new gold vs old fluid out. :trustme:

What troubles have you encountered with the blue dye? I 've been using the stuff in my tracked Viper for years and have never had issues.

Just the blue! :D No functional issues/troubles, of course; it's just a dye.
