Wet boiling point of the Motul (421 degrees) is almost as high as the dry boiling point of some of the other fluids mentioned in this thread. It's not super expensive either. I don't have to bleed my brakes that often with it either and if you've seen my calipers, I'm not exactly easy on the brakes.

^^ You looked up the wrong one.
The one they're referring to is the Prestone DOT 4.
But the picture seems to be wrong.

This is the actual bottle

autozone carries another brand too, can't remember which, that is a true dot 4 with a higher boiling point, but it only comes in smaller bottles. The prestone "dot 4" is really a dot 3/4, whose boiling point matches the valvoline synthetic dot 3/4 on the shelf but the valvoline is cheaper.
I have another can of super blue on the shelf but im waiting until I can purge the air from my abs before I just waste it. I used my other can of super blue on the wifes maxima and used the leftover in my clutch...I noticed a nice improvement. I can't imagine how good the castrol or rbf feels... The heat resistance to boil is probably a big factor when there's so little fluid involved.

I know this all because I manage an Autozone.
