DOT3/4 vs DOT 5 brake fluid

That's a good read, Tom. I didn't know there was a DOT 5.1 I thought this would be a good topic of discussion, and as it turns out, a productive one.

I have always used Redline or Ford, yes Ford racing brake fluids. Redline has a boiling temp of 600f and is DOT 4.

Be careful with temp ratings, some manufactures rate their fluids "wet" while others use "dry" ratings, big difference.

I never thought about that, you could be right, good call.
