Curious what the Mopar DOT 4 Brake Fluid #4549625 is rated at for dry/wet boiling. Been searching for 20 minutes and can't find it anywhere.

Time to change and have not had any problem with it so just want to get a comprable fluid without the viper tax.

Container says only minimum wet boiling point is 311 degrees F...does not list dry...but to be a DOT 4 it must be a minimum of 446 degrees F.


From Ron's old post:


"Mercedes Benz recommends brake fluid changes every 24 months. I probably average 12 ~ 18 months unless a track day comes up then do a change just before and after.

It's easy to do and not only maintains boiling point performance (boiling fluid will not stop your car), but also prolongs brake line life as old fluid will corrode the lines from the inside out.

Castrol Synpower DOT 3/4 is a good cost effective fluid for street use. Castrol SRF expensive but nice insurance for the track, but max usage is limited to 18 months....

ARRANGED BY DRY BOILING POINT:

DRY:401F -- WET:284F --- DOT3 MINIMUM
DRY:446F -- WET:311F --- DOT4 MINIMUM
DRY:500F -- WET:356F --- DOT5 MINIMUM
DRY:502F -- WET:343F --- VALVOLINE SYNPOWER
DRY:509F -- WET:365F --- MOTUL 5.1
DRY:527F -- WET:302F --- AP RACING 551
DRY:536F -- WET:392F --- ATE SUPERBLUE/TYP200
DRY:590F -- WET:410F --- AP RACING 600
DRY:590F -- WET:518F --- CASTROL SRF
DRY:593F -- WET:420F --- MOTUL RBF600
DRY:610F -- WET:421F --- NEO-SYNTHETIC SUPER DOT 610
DRY:620F -- WET:425F --- COBALT SUPER XRF

ARRANGED BY WET BOILING POINT:
