Brake fluid cooling

[CoCr]

It seems to me that the position of the brake fluid reservoir in the pathway of the intake for the cabin air filter is designed to cool the brake fluid. Anyone know if this has been tested to see if running the blower reduces brake fluid temps? When at the track, does anyone run with the air conditioner blower on and the ac compressor off?

I doubt it.

I just don't see the heat being conducted all the way up from the brake line to the reservoir.

Good point. I guess that is asking a lot of the convection currents in the oil. The temp gradient back to the reservoir is probably pretty high.
