FORD Brake fluid spec said to have changed - lower boiling point
From a thread at Corner-Carvers
to some of us. There is further discussion in the thread linked above.

Warning--> Ford PM1 brake fluid has changed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Since I have been a rather vocal advocate of "The Ford
brake fluid formerly known as -- >C6AZ-19542-A"... (else
where on the net) REPLACED BY PM-1 (When switched to Motorcraft
sourcing)
I feel obligated to warn of a recent change in the part number...
and more importantly... It's dry boiling point reduction!!!
(I'm a Ford/Linc/Merc parts guy)
PM-1 is now PM-1C
PM-1 had a D.B.P. of 550F
PM-1C has a D.B.P. of 500F
I know most of the faster guys have already moved on to better
fluids, some with different dyes to make complete flushing easier.
So this is directed more to the growing segment of new guys who
may have assumed Ford fluid is still the same good old stuff.
It's not... I'm switching.
Be safe out there.
