Default Valvoline SynPower Brake Fluid any good ?

Has anybody has experience with this stuff ? I was about to switch from Honda Dot3 to maybe Motul 5.1 just for street driving, but just found out about this stuff from Valvoline. I been running Porterfields R4S for a while and its time to change my brake fluid anyway. Here is a link to SynPower http://www.valvoline.com/pages/produ...sp?Product=51.

They claim 500F dry boiling point and low-moisture formulation. Its available at ordinary carpart stores.

I'm gonna be using that stuff too when I put my brake it on. Altho, my expectations will be pretty low b/c I won't have time to put the car on the track anytime soon. I'll repost later on...like a few weeks.

A lot of the Auto-Xs and Road Racers locally swear by that stuff...
I use it for every day driving.

Just wondering, if you put the SynPower in do you need to completely flush the old Honda Dot3 fluid out? Or is it compatible and you can mix them two.

You don't have to flush, but it's recommended b/c the fluid is only as good as the lowest boiling point.
