And, again, it is the wet boiling point that matters the most as this is what will limit your breaking after 2ish years of use. It is likely that the SVX, with modified brakes, can exceed 311F under stressful conditions. And one has to wonder if a fluid with a higher boiling point also has higher heat capacity and thermal conductivity. That would be important for avoiding brake fade and warping.
