    If you use SRF you can skip the annual flush. I’ve road raced a 3,700# 500hp car on technical tracks known to be hard on brakes. And ran SRF for years between a caliper bleed (not full flush).

    Good lord, $75/liter? I'd rather bleed semi-regularly with a cheap high temp DOT3.
    I thought it the end it doesn't matter what fluid you use, it's always going to load up with water eventually, especially higher temp formulations?

    Fully saturated SRF has a higher boiling point than DOT 3 has straight out of the bottle. How much is your time worth?

    If the stock brakes were not adequate for normal use (hauling and towing within the limits published by Toyota), I think there would be a class action lawsuit. Also always keep in my that your tires are what limit your braking; not the brakes (unless they overheat). I personally am going to spend my money elsewhere.

    for many years, I used Valvoline Synthetic DOT 4 brake fluid and would use it again.
    Dry Boiling Point, 446°F,
    Wet Boiling Point, 311°F
    Since I was at a road cross about 1-2 times a month for the Porsche club, Drivers Edge and others, I was changing my fluid every 6 months.
    With my daily vehicles, I check the PH level and change as needed.
