Thoughts about Valvoline SynPower brake fluid?

Anyone have any thoughts... good or bad about Valvoline SynPower brake fluid?

I'm replacing rear brake lines and calipers today. I figure it would be a good time to swap out the fluid in the entire system.

I use it, I like it. It's readily available at McParts type places, and almost as good as some of the premium ATE brake fluid stuff. Meets DOT 4 standards.

As soon as I get a hold of a caliper rebuild kit for my front brakes, SynPower is what I will be using to flush and fill my brakes.

$5 for 1Q bottle, but worth it in the long run.

How is it better than say the dot 4 stuff Fastlane sells? SL brand.

I'm not sure that it IS better, but it is easily found and a good product. I've used it quite a lot.

Have a great day,
