How does on boil their brake fluid? I’ve never heard of that happening. Thanks
Common on track usage or other high speed braking - less common now with better fluids, but also could be related when fluid picks up water the boiling point is lowered.
No magic - friction generates heat, heat gets transferred to the caliper, then to the fluid.
AP Racing offers a wide range of great fluids that we supply to customers at all levels, from street drivers to IMSA, IndyCar, and NASCAR Cup teams. They have five different options depending on your needs, and they can be seen here: https://www.essexparts.com/brake-hydraulics
Their fluids have a range of boiling points depending on what your needs are, as shown in the chart below. AP fluids always rate exceptionally well with feel, providing a hard, easy-to-modulate pedal, and they are the top choice of many of the pro drivers. For spirited street driving, the AP Dot 5.1 is a great choice: https://www.essexparts.com/ap-radi-c...51-brake-fluid
Three bottles is typically enough to completely flush the system and have a little left over for a secondary bleed if required.

Repeated heavy and prolonged braking and low boiling point brake fluid. Brake fluid shows boiling pint specs. Investigate some standard fluids and something like Motul 600 and 660 and you will see a difference. Will not be an issue for many on this forum.
