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.

Man, if the fluid boils and is destroyed after 10 miles and a total of 30 minutes engine run-time, it would see, that there are more design problems present than
switching to a new fluid type will cure.
Reaching over 446 degrees where fluids are present is pretty shocking, not to mention the brake master cylinder parts and fluid!
Do people suffer brake failure frequently as well, or is that why DOT 5 silicone fluid is used for the brakes?
