A good reference for some wet and dry boiling point figures. Shame there's no mention of DOT 5.1 fluids.

A lot of high spec race fluids are actually DOT4, for wahetever reason (lubricity perhaps?).

At what point does your fluid become wet rather than dry? Is there a specific %age of water content in the fluid? I assume that's what they mean by dry ad wet boiling points...
