Here read this link. It has a lot of good information about brake fluids. Tho only thing I don't agree with is he doesn't recommend the Ford brake fluid for the street. Ford's brake fluid was designed for the street. The problem is MOST people ignore changing out their brake fluid. That is a problem no matter what fluid you use. Because brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air it needs to be changed regularly. The moisture will affect your ABS from what I have read although I don't know exactly how. But I can see the moisture getting in around the pistons in your disc brakes and causing surface rust so maybe that's enough reason. I change out my fluid every two years or less and I live in Arizona where there is less moisture to be absorbed.
