I have used Ate fluid for years but never liked the blue one just because it will not show the dirt and dissolved rubber as it ages as clear or yellow tinted one does. I try to follow the old Mercedes rule: "replace brake fluid once a year, preferably in the spring."
OEM is probably Ate or Pentosin.
Next time I'll be trying DOT 5.1.
Cheers
