Bob, don't sample the fluid from the M/C end. Open the bleeder valve on the slave and let it slowly drip into a glass bottle. Then check the color. That is where the heat will get to the fluid the fastest. You won't need to bleed the system if the bleeder is on the top of the slave and the master is higher than the slave. Gravity will cause it to flow without any air entering the system.

And, yes, Wilwood fluid will boil at 570 degrees dry where normal DOT 4 fluid can boil at 446 degrees dry. Big difference.
