Buy any DOT 3 or 4 on sale/best price and sleep well at night. I hope this isn't as confusing as a brake fluid mfg putting the word "Synthetic" on their container. "DOT 5" is "silicone" which can't be mixed with the other three and is designed for applications such as racing, withstand even higher boiling points, isn't hydroscopic(won't absorbe water/moisture) and won't hurt the paint on you vehicle where the others will damage the paint. A premium, synthetic quality brake fluid that contains special ingredients to guard against vapor lock and moisture absorption Exceeds requirements for both DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids Complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. There are different levels of fluids such as DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1(in which all three can be mixed). They're both synthetic! One mfg is just labeling their container as such and making things very confusing for the normal shopper. There is not such thing as DOT 3 regular fluid and DOT 3 Synthetic. The different types of brake fluid is the difference between synthetic and silicone not synthitic and non synthetic. It's Silicone brake fluid, not synthitic fluid that can't be mixed with other types of brake fluid. The brands that advervise on their bottle, "SYNTHITIC" are just making things confusing as if the other brands aren't synthetic. Yes! They're all full Synthetic, every single one. It seems 20 years ago you just go to peb boys and you get "brake fluid" and you were fine. So not to beat a dead horse, Even the Full synthetics DOT3 would work, like amsoil, Valvoline or just plain Prestone Synthetics? I want to change out the fluid with no irreversible affects.
