Well, before there was Castrol Girling GT/LMA, and before there was
C-G Amber, there were Castrol Girling Crimson and Green brake fluids.
They're long off the market, having been superseded years ago by the
GT/LMA. Maybe your system still has original or period fluid in it from the
1970s? or NOS brake fluid? :-)

It's the same as the brake fluid, whatever your preference might be.
