Got this in alex's and mine

Wilwood High Temp 570 Brake Fluid

• Minimum dry boiling point of 290°C (570°F). Lubricates and cleans your brake system's internal parts. This is an essential element for a brake system to operate at 100% efficiency.
• Due to Hi-Temp 570's low viscosity, bleeding brakes becomes an easy operation. Problems with aeration of brake fluid dueto foaming from excessive pumping of the brake pedal are eliminated.
• Hi-Temp 570 comes only in a hermetically sealed container to guarantee against unwanted absorbtion of moisture which can drastically lower the boiling point.
