Title: Brake Fluid Comparison Chart
Post by: TimTyler on January 20, 2016, 11:23:36 PM
This is a pretty good chart of brake fluids (https://www.lelandwest.com/brake-fluid-comparison-chart.cfm) that can easily be sorted based on manufacturer, types, boiling points and more.

The little blue "i" info buttons link to detailed data sheets.

Wow . . . If I had the brain capacity to think that  much about brake fluid, I'd be a lot smarter than I am. But thanks!

great compilation of data!

for street bikes and cars that don't see a lot of fluid changes, you want high wet boiling point.  the longer between fluid changes the more moisture (wetter) the fluid gets.

for those that frequently change fluid or track use, you want high dry boiling point.  the fluid is generally not left in the system long enough to absorb a lot of moisture.

Another group that might benefit from high boiling points could be comprised of riders descending long, steep, mountain roads of the Rockies, Andes and Alps.
