don't use the engine cover. Did you get tired of all the heat soaked brittle parts under there?:)

I have new tank ready to install, just waiting for the annual flush before installing new tank.

You know how they all dis-color over time.

It will be new and clean for winter!

all those cool looking plastic covers keep too much heat in?

I see the latest VW & Audi engines have smaller plastic covers, and they have more holes for air.

Hmmmmm.........

While maintaining the ultra cool 12v insignia on the engine cover.. ;o)

I'd read a few things about the viscosity that had me a little concerned too. Since I don't hot rod hardly at all I decide to stay with the regular street DOT 4 (Pentosin Super DOT 4).

Any reason you picked the lifetime Delco over the lifetime VW-Red or lifetime Pentosin Blue? They are all good for two years aren't they? I think the Blue-Blue combo could have been striking.

As self elected color cordinator of engine fluid I like your Blue-Orange combo. I stayed with the classic Red-Yellow. ;-)

So far the brake fluid tanks has not discolored with the ATE Super Blue. I have ATE Gold which I change out the blue when flushing to make sure all the old fluid is removed.

I choose the Delco several years back when it was the only thing available, and was easy for me to get. Been with it ever since. Supposedly good for 5 years, but......I need to flush mine because R&R'n the heads allowed some oil into the coolant.

Blue/Blue might be interesting! Where can I get the blue coolant?

And you can buy it at <a href="http://www.germanautoparts.com/coolants.html" target="_top">German Auto Parts.</a> I've used them a few times and like them OK. Notice the G11 is blue and original in most German cars built before 2/96 while the Pentosin Pink (G12) was put in cars after 3/96. I guess it depends if you want a post-modernist or classical look to your fluid. ;)

The idea of the Blue / Yellow brake fluid rotation was really appealing to me but I just decided to measure it as it came out. Two cups per circuit in my A6.

I ran it in my 86 Coupe GT for a number of years with no problems. Also my wife's 88 90, and now my 93 90. So far so good.

Probably easier to just remove?

Maybe I can find something to do with my now defunct engine cover?? Hang it on a wall perhaps?

To the trunk!

Replacing it with an Ultima battery, and boxing it into the spare tire area.
