Brake Fluid Comparison
Here's a comparison of the most popular racing brake fluids.

Brake Fluid is rated by dry boiling point (for fluid fresh out of the bottle) and wet boiling point (for fluid saturated with moisture). If you bleed brakes frequently, the dry boiling point is most important. If you do not change your brake fluid often, the wet boiling point becomes more important. All of these fluids except AP600 will mix with DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 fluids. None of these fluids are compatible with DOT 5 (silicone) fluids.
