Anyone have any experience with Wilwood EXP 600 Plus?

Here is their description

Dry Boiling Point
Degrees Farenheit: 626 °F

Wet Boiling Point
Degrees Farenheit: 417 °F

"Wilwood EXP Super Hi-Temp 600 Plus Racing Brake Fluid has been specially formulated for racing applications where brake systems consistently operate at very high temperatures. In addition to guarding against vapor lock, EXP Super Hi-Temp 600 Plus Racing Brake Fluid maintains its viscosity and lubricity under extreme temperatures for maintaining brake system reliability and performance. EXP Super Hi-Temp 600 Plus Racing Brake Fluid conforms to, and exceeds U.S. specification FMVSS No. 116 DOT 4. Typical dry boiling point: 594° F (312° C). Typical wet boiling point: 399° F (204 °C).

It is true that racing fluids need to have high boiling points. It is also true that fluids need to have low moisture affinity to slow the natural absorption rate of water vapor. But the true test of any fluid is how well it resists aeration and compressibility after it has been heated and pressure cycled a few hundred times. The real test is at the track. EXP has been proven to maintain firm pedal feel and quick response, long after others have failed."

Thanks

I've run that fluid for the last 3 years, autocross and road course work. Change it spring and late summer. So far so good,I've not had any problems with boiling the fluid. Only time I did was at NCM in June, 98* out, track temp 130*. Car ahead of me caught fire and we had to stop on an uphill section with no place to go. Boiled the fluid, warped the rotors and all. Such is life but no much you can do in the middle of a session on track.

The Wilwood EXP is great stuff.

I've used it in four different track cars, over 125 track events, and never had a single problem with it. Ever.

Agree - Wilwood EXP 600+ is my favorite brake fluid. Worked for me for both track and street
