Asian vs. Euro vs Domestic DOT4 brake fluid??

[tcp71]

I see 3 different kinds of DOT4 Brake fluid offered. Why? What are the differences? Boiling point seems the same.

Probably nothing beyond just a marketing gimmick. But I don't know how it would be profitable to bottle the same thing three different ways.

What @Bottom_Feeder said. This is absolutely nothing more than marketing. DOT 4 brake fluid spec is only one specification. There are not different versions of DOT 4, for European, Asian, and North American cars.

Because of this deceptive marketing, I would not buy OEM brad, or any other brand brake fluid, that markets their brake fluid in this way. I see Canadian Tire also carries Prestone DOT 4. I would buy it instead.

Dot 4 is dot 4.They're just trying to make more money.

 

[Bottom_Feeder]

The OEM brand name didn't even register. That right there is a red flag.

It's just canadian tire house brand. Just re-labelled brand name stuff. Cooolants for example

or transmission fluids:

Marketing, some people would not buy anything unless it is 'associated' with their car, euro car => euro brake fluid; thinking it's somehow better.
