Brake Fluid

[Richard Beels]

M1 is full synthetic.  Castrol Syntec is a full synthetic as well.  I use 
whichever is on sale.  M1 is usually cheaper for me so.....

DOT4 is what you want.  Valvoline makes a "synthetic" DOT3/DOT4 fluid that 
works fine and is $5 for a big can at Wally world.   Remember that brake 
fluid sucks moisture out of the air like crazy so get a couple small cans 
and a couple big cans.  Use a small can first and then the big can, 
transferring the remainder in the big can to the small can.  Fill the small 
can to as near the rim as possible, cover with a few layers of saran wrap 
and then screw the cap on.
