Post Valvoline Syntech Brake Fluid?

I have a few quarts of Valvoline Synthetic Brake fluid in my shop, unopened. I am planning a full clutch/brake fluid change and was wondering if anyone had used this. It's DOT 3 and 4 approved, and compatible with conventional brake fluid. I know ATE and others may be top of the line, but is this at least good brake fluid for a street car? Thanks.

Me too. That's what I've got in my car right now. I like the synthetic idea in general.

I have heard good things about the Ford HD brake fluid used on the super duty trucks....

Sounds strange but check the boiling points on it, it is very high, and its cheap.....

Still I do use ATE super Blue
