T E T?
Do you have their website of phone numer?

Well it's got a wet BP the same as any other "normal" fluid... which really is of no consequence because anyone who road races changes their fluid all the time anyways...
As Matt93SE mentioned earlier....do yourself a favor and get ATE Super blue (or gold) brake fluid....Its not ultra hygroscopic, and will stay clean for a good while. Also, if you are worried about noise on the HP+ pads on the street, bevel the edges slightly before you put them in and it will cure the problem.

I can vouch for the valvoline...I have used it and I have used motul 5.1....both great pedal feel and heat resistance...on autoX and road coarse! noticed no boil over or mushy pedal with either...and vavoline I can buy over the counter...unlike motul which I typically have to order online! and I live in socal, so the weather is always semi-hot and I run on r compounds...with 6th gen brakes up front and hawk hps pads...I have yet to install some custom brake cooling ducts though...can't wait to tackle that project...already have the supplies from a local hardware store...
I would also love to get a hold of a set of matt's new 6th gen 2 piece rotors that he is now taking orders on I believe...can't wait to forget what the word "fade" means...!!!

Ran Hawk HPS on my 240 and LOVED them, great feel, still quiet and i never felt them fade, granted i didnt repeatedly brake from 100 but you get the point. I would recomend them and deffinitly run them again on any DD/auto-x car.
