Ok, i have some brake fluid which was given to me its "brake man brake fluid" and i was wondering if anyone has used it? and are these boiling points to High or to low or are they good for my car. (dry 577 degrees, wet 300 degrees) its a 1996 240sx i daily drive it but once a week at night i drive hard down mountain roads so you think these boiling points are good??

dry seems pretty good, but wet seems low. iirc these are the characteristics of a synthetic fluid. once again, iirc, the synthetic won't mix with the standard stuff. i'd look into it before you go dumpin it in the master cyl.
of course, i could be completely wrong.

Just check the DOT rating. DOT 5 you have to really watch out for. Im using 5.1.

It says it is compatable with DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid....it also says "non-silicone and i was planning to bleed the whole system and replace it with this stuff...

those are very "racey" numbers. i'd get something with a higher wet boiling point...unless you plan on changing your fluid a lot.
