Yes, but what's more important is that it is NOT compatible with DOT 4(ie,
normal) brake fluid; chemically reacts to slightest amount of DOT 4(like
putting sugar in the gas tank, sorta.  Same effect.)
Between only being able to put it in a new system, and the fact that it's
hard to find(and doesn't offer that much better "performance"), not worth
the effort in the slightest.
