Someone traveling through the twisties with no Traffic isn't likely to encounter Heat Fade. The SAE did a study of 1,000 two year old cars and found the average moisture content in the Brake Fluid at 4% with a high of 7%. At 4% moisture content, the Boiling Point of DOT4 Fluid will drop to about 240°-260° F - not much better than using straight water in the system... Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
