We don't even look at dry. Once you open the container, we use wet values. Castrol SRF is the best but pricey. We only use it for racing. For people who occasionally drive hard it's not worth it.

The suction powered bleeders are my favorite as it is cleaner and easier however I do use pressure bleeders such as the Motive also.
When using the Motive and after sucking as much BF out, do you put the new BF into the Motive and pressurize or put BF into the master cylinder and then pressurize? Seems like I read about 2 different procedures one being called wet and one being the dry. Thank you for the advice. Looking to do this in the next weeks and bought the Motive bleed and catch bottles. Will be using Motul 600.

If you have a decent air compressor, get one of these. I haven't touched my motive bleeder since buying this. Fluid changes are a breeze with this handy $35 tool.

I second the harbor freight bleeder. Just did my daily this weekend and it worked like a charm. Brake fluid swaps are simple with the right tools-don’t need to overly complicate it.
