What kind of brake fluid for an ate brake system

My brake caliper was frozen so i replaced it. A blueish green fluid came out. Is this ATE Superblue DOT 4? I bought some MB DOT 4 Brake fluid from the dealership. I haven't cracked open the bottle yet to see the color of the fluid. Should i just use the MB stuff or should I keep it superblue if it is? Thanks

Before you go on, you should flush the entire brake system, and use either type of fluid. You're correct in using DOT 4 spec fluid.

.I'm partial to the SB.. Great fluid, I've 'tired' to boil it out but no success as of yet!

If you are having trouble finding it let me know..I always keep 2-4 bottles on the shelf:)

I just ordered 2 liters of ate super blue. I will return the other stuff back to the benz dealership.
-So I do have ate super blue if the fluid is a blueish green?
