Default ELF 650 Brake Fluid - Experience?

Anybody have experience with ELF 650 brake fluid.

At Hallett it's all they use in the race cars and in the race shop.

Price is really attractive, right in line with Super Blue.

FWIW, I'm well aware of Castrol and all the other fluid out there. I've read all the threads.

I'm interested comments on the ELF 650 fluid. Did a Forum Search and found nothing.

SuperBlue has better wet numbers... I'll stick with my Motul 600.

Wet numbers are the ones to use in comparing the same DOT grades. ATE Super Blue has a higher wet boiling point at 392 degrees.

And with ATE, you get two different colors in Super Blue (blue) and TYP200(yellowish-gold); they are the same fluid so it's easy to tell when one is flushed from the system and the other is in.

Once you get 580 - 600 degree fluid and you have a problem with boiling. You need to address why it's getting that hot. bigger rotors and air ducking

Choose a brake fluid with a WET boiling point as close to if not above 400* F and you will be fine. Change before each weekend
