Comments:              
 I found all this on the web and nothing is guaranteed to be correct.        
Wet boiling point is measured at 3.5% moisture, typical for one-year-old fluid.      
AP600 is not compatibile with any other fluid.            
Ford HD DOT3 is cheap and good for racing but has a low wet boiling point.      
ATE Type 200/Super Blue is recommended by BMW.          
ATE SL is OE on many European performance cars.
