FYI, their TYP 200 is exactly the same.

So they have a problem with the color?

Does this leave room for a reformulation?

Well, I always did wonder how they got away with that... Oh well.

First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.


I really like this. It always pisses me off when people say "don't care because I don't use it, drink, believe in God etc." Well one day they will come after something you do care about and I bet you will wish somebody would stand up with/for you, asshole.

From the letter it sounds like you won’t be able to stock up on it (unless if maybe you run buy it now).

BTW, can’t they just change the color of the fluid?

Unless I'm losing my mind, have not half the factory fill fluids in the last 15 years been green...? How long has this law been in effect? Something new and even more stupid than usual?

I should clarify. TYP200 is a yellow version of the super blue. So, yes, a "reformulated" version already exists.

The color law has actually been in effect for a while now.....not like we didn't see this coming.

Honestly this doesn't change anything. So there will be a few guys who will have to over flush a bit now without using color. Everybody that uses super blue uses typ200.

I just switched to Motul 660.

And I couldn't ever get the Super Blue and it looks like they'd be asking for stock back anyways so unfortunately I can't hide away a bunch for you guys. :p

Not with that attitude you can't!

Wonder if I could secretly contact them and offer to "dispose of it" in exchange for $2 a can/bottle :D

Or just buy the other stuff and put blue dye in yourself

I meant take it at an insane discount since they can't sell it anymore and will most likely have to dispose of it.

As an added thought: Why should a company be responsible for people being stupid? If the color of a fluid is what tells someone where it goes, then they probably have no business touching their car.

Looks like Amazon and raceshopper took down their listings already. I ordered a case on racerpartswholesale, i hope it ships.

edit:
son of a bitch RPW won't sell their stock of blue.
