[Shotimes] FW: "Hillman - " Brake fluid - Might have SHO guys interested

[Ron Porter]

I agree, for the money, the Valvoline is great stuff. IMHO, the Castrol LMA
is pretty lame.....better than straight DOT 3, but not too good. Here's a
few fluids:

                            	DRY     WET
Castrol LMA DOT 3/4         	446     311
Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3     	550     290
Valvoline Synthetic DOT 3/4   502     343 
ATE Super Blue Racing       	536     392
ATE TYP 200                	536     392
Motul Racing 600           	585     421
Castrol SRF                   590     518
Performance Friction          550     284

Valvoline Syntec DOT 3/4 fluid is great.  It has high wet and dry boiling 
points (higher than LMA) and a low affinity for moisture. AFAIK it is 
compatible with all DOT 3 and 4 fluids.

A current thread on Brake fluid on the Hillman list.  The consensus is that 
the Gastrol GT/LMA is the most compatible with all systems.
