S slacktide_bitog Joined Mar 20, 2008 Messages 16,131 Location USA Aug 18, 2017 #4 That looks like a great deal! Better boiling points and lower viscosity and a better price than Pentosin LV or any DOT 5.1! For reference, the DOT 5.1 minimum boiling points are 500 dry, 356 wet, max visc 900. The Bosch fluid is 518 dry, 365 wet, visc 670 I wish this was available when I needed it!

Carmudgeon Joined Apr 26, 2005 Messages 1,496 Location Under the hood Aug 18, 2017 #6 Looks like Bosch may be repackaging a slightly different version of ATE SL6, down to the tin can container. The boiling points are a bit higher than SL6 (509/347; 700), though Typ200 is a bit higher still (536/388) but not a low-viscosity fluid. For those who need a readily-available, high-performance LV fluid, this is good news.
