DOT 3 brake fluid has a minimum temp for it's boiling point the conform to federal standers. The word here to pay attention to is the word MINIMUM. The standards for standard DOT 3 DOES NOT say that you can't have a DOT 3 brake fluids boiling point higher. Ford has a high performance DOT 3 brake fluid that has it's boiling point about 175 degrees or more, ( don't remember the exact # ) higher then the standard DOT 3 fluids. It's sold at your Ford dealer in pint containers..At road race track events. I was boiling my brake fluid a lot in my Yenko's. Changed to the Ford fluid. Problem solved. I now use that fluid in the GMC. YES. There are other brake fluids that do have a higher boiling point then standard DOT 3. But, they aren't DOT 3. So they aren't compatible with the fluid that came in the GMC
