lol looks like you guys forgot to read the really fine print! it states: "THE FINER PRINT: I am not responsible for the validity of any of the claims made above. Bid at your stupidity, er, risk. If you believe anything that I said in the description, then I also have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale."

I was about to e-mail this twerp when I read the "fine print". Here is what it says:

THE FINER PRINT: I am not responsible for the validity of any of the claims made above. Bid at your stupidity, er, risk. If you believe anything that I said in the description, then I also have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Still, pretty funny. Obviously that poor schmuck who bid on the oil didn't read the "fine print".

Here is what he replied:

Actually, you can add as much water as you'd like! But you want to add boiling hot water to it because it helps the pads grip better and cleans out the lines at the same time.

Here is what I asked:

Great item! Can I add up to a gallon of water with the half bottle of fine brake fluid?
If so, I'm really saving money and get better performance (8-10 hp) at the same time. What a deal!
By the way, when I add water to it, should I add hot water or cold water? What tempreture do you recommend?

Many thanks

OK,. HERE IS WHAT I SENT.......

Ill post reply, if any..

Can this fluid be used in any car or just BMW's? I Know that Porsche always recommends Mobil One, Does BMW have any joint ventures with castrol? The 8 to 10 horsepower gain you state, is that Brake Horsepower? I always hear that term, but never really knew what it meant... I checked the resivoir on my E36 M3 it was about half empty, would filling it with water help? Apparently it raises the boiling point, especially if you use salt water. I would hate to have an accident while waiting for this auction to end. What color is the fluid? My car is Blue and I would like the fluid to match, can it be dyed without effecting its race like properties? BTW, did you factor in the added weight of the additional fluid when making the brakehorsepower calculations? I know it is minor, but it all adds up you know.
