P/N for Ford Heavy Duty DOT 3 Truck brake fluid (dry boiling point = 550*)?
My last instructor clued me into this stuff...with a dry boiling point very close to all the popular (expensive) DOT4 brake fluids that we go through like water during track season at a fraction of the cost.
I'm having trouble tracking this stuff down. The part number I've got is C6AZ-19542-AA or AB. My local dealer keeps bringing me a plastic bottle (it's supposed to come in a metal can from what I've read) that doesn't say "heavy duty" anywhere on the label. The wet and dry boiling points listed on that bottle also don't match the numbers of the HD stuff.
Does anyone have a current PN for the Heavy Duty fluid, or know where I can order some online? I can't stand paying $14/bottle of the Motul, when I could be getting the Ford stuff for 25% of that.

They may have changed the label...
C6AZ-91542-AB (may have lexdixia) or C6AZ-19542-AB is the stuff...rumor that Ford now just calls it PM1 or something like that.
It always came in a plastic bottle. Haven't used it in the last decade or so, 'cuz I have a source of REALLY cheap/sometimes free Super Blue & Typ 200.

It doesn't say "heavy duty" on the plastic bottle I've been handed...

and the dry and wet boiling points on the bottle label don't match the figures I've found in threads that discuss this stuff online.
The bottle I've seen is white, with red lettering...says Ford DOT3 Brake Fluid on it, and doesn't mention anything about being Heavy Duty fluid. The blue can in hte picture above is what I'm looking for.

Thanks.
I've got a few bottles of Motul left before I need to restock.
I called a Ford dealership yesterday up in Ipswich that specializes in trucks. The parts guy said that the DOT3 HD truck fluid is NLA...and hasn't been for 4-5 years now. The only option now is the stuff in the white plastic bottle with red script.
I found the HD stuff at Linginfelter's website, but suspect that it's an old picture and they don't have any left.
