Fluid Dry Boiling Wet Boiling
Motul 660 617 400
Motul 600 594 401
Brembo HTC 64T 635 397
SRF 608 518
The reason people have good luck with SRF is because it is less hygroscopic than conventional brake fluids - it absorbs less water in a given time. Conventional fluid can absorb moisture sitting on a shelf. The more important number is wet boiling. If max dry boiling is important, be prepared to change the fluid before every event.

My fluid was may be one or two months old and it was either motul 660 or 600, I can’t remember which.
Once my fluid boiled I should’ve realized it would happen much easier the next time I was on the track, Even after a 60 minute break between sessions it happened again.
Does anyone know where to get Castrol SRF?
