The factory part number fluid is ate 200, this is the same as the ate blue only it is amber in color.
I like to keep both onhand since you can flush on with the other and know when the fluid has been completly flushed.
Though ATE blue exceeds DOT specifications, it is not DOT 4 compliant because of the BLUE dye.
On another note about fluids.
The only Porsche fluid that I have found to be very hard to find is the power steering fluid. Pentosin CHF 11S green dyed synthetic hydraulic fluid. From reading the can it is a standard part number for Porsche, BMW, and Rolls Royce. Pioneers price on this is very reasonable at $18 Liter, while Cunningham BMW wants $32 per liter.
