I know this is an older thread..but the quote above is not correct. "Wet" boiling point is defined by DOT standard is when the fluid contains 3.7% water by volume. https://epicbleedsolutions.com/blogs...of-brake-fluid that is typically estimated to take around two years.

If you regularly flush fluid - let's say at least twice a year, dry boiling point is of much more interest. Even then...if whatever fluid you're using isn't boiling, then it's dry boiling point suffices for the application. As others noted, feel in the pedal can definitely change though.

For years I've used wilwood 570 - buy it by the case. It's inexpensive, has good dry BP, and comes in pint bottles so I'm not left with a lot of fluid in an open container. Unfortunately, my favorite is tilton tsr-1 which I believe has been discontinued. Always gave me a slightly stiffer pedal than the wilwood and has a significantly higher BP.

The brembo htc64 looks great - have to give that a try...but only if I determine the wilwood isn't good enough.. No point throwing money away..

I recommend you give the wilwood a try..
