It's DRY boiling point is 550, it's wet is only 284. Wet being when it's
taken some of the water that others have mentioned that brake fliud
attracts. so really, you want to look for the highest in both wet and dry,
wet, especially if you're a normal human being and don't change your fluid
before every event ;)
