I went to Ford to pick up some brake fluid and they told me that they stopped selling Ford HD fluid in a blue metal can about a year ago. They now offer Ford "High Performance" DOT 3 fluid in a White plastic bottle.
That is correct. As I understand it... it is the same fluid just not in the metal cans. I have been using the white bottle Ford HD for over a year and about 8 different 2day track events without any problems.

Of course, I do change it before each event.

I went to the Porsche/BMW/Mercedes dealer yesterday looking to see what they had. All of it is DOT 4. All those brands and even Volkswagon brand is DOT 4.

I priced out the Porsche brand... they wanted $50 for a litre!

I also found Wilwood in a speed shop, it was $7 a bottle.
