Brake fluid technology as become relatively complex during the last 10 years or so. And with complexity and technology improvements, the costs have esculated quite rapidly as well. However, in most brake fluids, you do get what you pay for!

One thing I thought I would mention is the differences between wet and dry boiling points. A million years ago when I first saw this term, I could not understand dry boiling points. Well here is a definition for both:


Dry boiling point is defined as the temperature at which fresh brake fluid from a new container will boil

Wet Boiling point of brake fluid is when it will boil when exposed to potential water absorption when installed in a system.

Great care needs to be done when using the high performance brake fluid. In many cases, the higher the boiling points the more sensitive they are to water absorption. So great care should be practiced when using them
