Default Brake fluid comparison chart

I found this the other day while searching for some info on brake fluid. I found it pretty interesting so I thought I'd pass it on here.
Cheers. Mike

If you scroll down from the chart there is a good explanation there. At least a better one than I could type out here.

Motul 600 is the best affordable street/track fluid. The higher the wet boiling point the better after the fluid accumulates moisture over time.

If you flush brake fluid religiously, then go for something with the highest dry boiling point you can afford, for track duty.

That makes sense. Couldn't open the page at work. Stupid government computers.
