It qualified as DOT 3 due to its low wet boiling point, but it’s dry boiling point was better than most DOT fluids of the day. No problem since the racers bled the system between races. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I haven’t looked at the Ford fluid figures in a long time but if I was really worried about boiling point I would use DOT 5.1, which has the same wet and dry minimum boiling points as DOT 5 silicone fluid (500˚F hot and 356˚ wet). It is polyethylene glycol-based (it must be less than 70% silicone by definition) so it’s compatible with DOT 4 but it is not so easy to find these days. It’s a bit less viscous than DOT 3 or DOT 4, same viscosity as DOT 5.<div class=""><br class=""><div class="">
