The Minis slave cylinder is problematic anyway, so any dealer blaming the fluid is just being a big PIA.
When mine went I took it to my dealer and told then to please use the can of blue that was in the car, as that's all I use. No problem.
That's why I drive two hours to that dealer rather then one hour to another.

If you research the BMW forums you will find that BMW owners often spout out that Super Blue is recommended for BMW's, however, I was unable to find any proof of that.
The MINI Owners Manuals says to use a factory approved brake fluid, and after more research Super Blue isn't on that list--of course.
Spec wise, it should be the same or better than the OEM brake fluid, but dealers will use ANY excuse to get out of fixing your MINI.

On other cars, ATE Super Blue has have a tendency to mess with the clutch slave (I haven't noticed)--causing it to squeak
The real warranty related thing is, Super Blue, due to the dye isn't technically "Street Legal", ie meeting DOT specifications. Type 200 (which is Super Blue minus the dye) is.
