Brake fluid comparison Dry/Wet Boiling Points

Probably a repost, but worthy IMO:

FYI, I found the Valvoline SynPower at Checker for $5/liter(actually ~950ml) or $3/half-liter(actually ~350ml).

I bought the liter, but only used like 10oz to completely bleed my Sentra brakes, so my recommendation is to pay the extra $1 and buy the small bottles.

That way you don't have 60% left over sitting around open to absorb moisture. However, this stuff is so 'cheap'(price wise NOT performance), I'd have no qalm about throwing it away.

Great brake fluid If anybody is considering of buying it and it's blue so it makes the engine bay look a bit better
i usually have mechanics and enthusiasts at meets asking me about it too.

Just got the Valvoline Synthetic Dot 3 - 4 BF to flush this weekend. Will be interesting to see how dirty the fluid is after 27k miles.

I intend on doing the same with 30K plus SS lines, Hawk HPS pads, and slotted rotors.
