I have this laying around from my BMW when I was going to install the stainless steel brake lines on it. Would this be ok to 'mix' in w/ the stock fluid in the brake reservoir?

After reading a few posts, I checked my brake fluid reservoir and the fluid is yucky black! I have a turkey baster to take it out and add this new fluid w/o any need for bleeding the brakes.

Could I change it w/ this one? If so, will 1 Liter of this stuff do the entire system?

You can use it, and it will mix just fine with DOT 3. A complete bleed including the ABS is best, but is not required. The Ate Super Blue fluid is what several members are using. I am using the same stuff only in Amber color, it's called Ate Typ 200.

1 liter will flush the entire system no problem. I use the ATE super blue with no problems. If the can has been sealed then its fine to use it, if it was opened before I would not use it. Moisture might have got into it. I would also suggest using www.speedbleeder.com they are great. You should also get all of the fluid out of your clutch reservoir, wipe out with a paper towel and fill with some valvoline syntic, I did a complete clutch system flush and put the ATE super blue in the reservoir.
