I'm not sure who to believe. The OP shows a boiling point of 401*F but the pictures of the label on Autozone's website references a lower figure of 284*F.
The boiling point is important because spirited driving can 'boil' brake fluid, leading to compressible air in the system, and unreliable braking. Due to this mismatched information, I'm going to have to pass.

Regarding availability, my main store was out, but my second choice, about 4 miles away allowed me to buy 3.
DOT 3 and DOT 4 are often co-specified and interchangeable on most cars. The difference in the spec has to do with slightly different wet vs. dry boiling points. Both types are good for cars driven on the street. Better to change the fluid than to worry about precise details on the specs. Whatever fluid you put in there will start absorbing moisture from the atmosphere immediately, so change frequently and don't worry about brand or exact quantitative ratings. Just my opinion, which is 100% correct.
Great deal.

How much brake fluid does an average car need, been a while. I think 1 of these is good for a normal car brake flush right? Or do I need more?
