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.

Others avoid DOT 5 because it can be difficult to bleed, does not play well with any other type of fluid left in the system, may result in a spongy feel on the pedal, likes to leak, and so on.
Lets not forget DOT 5.1.
For more advice, ask Google, she knows everything.
yet took money from my credit card for the online order.
complete waste of time and energy.. now I got to dispute the charge
That's good to know - I always store my chemicals side by side.

(May be even putting you in danger if you dont know it is already expired and continue to use it in your car)

Can you just please shed some light on why you feel the need to make completely false statements? It's completely annoying.

Now class, let's review- I said:
"I don't know of any current production vehicles but there have been plenty of production vehicles specifying DOT 5."
Now stop being annoyed and go back and like my post. Then go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.
