Probably worth it if your a racer and do frequent changes. You could lay a "band" of the UV fluid with the existing gold and you will see it in the drain tube for a couple seconds as it passes through, indicating you have reached the fresh fluid.

Interdynamics Oil and Fuel Systems UV Dye (1 oz.) 374CS: You
Before I would be adding a general purpose "hydraulic fluid" dye to one of these system, I 'd want to know it is 100% compatible with all of the seals and components in the ABS and PSM systems. A couple of companies list dyes for "hydraulic fluids" (several OEM's use "hydraulic" systems for level control, and Mercedes even used it at one time to operate their power windows), but no one seems to list a UV dye specifically for modern antilock brake and stability management systems.........
