I have been running this fluid in my 1987 Mazda RX7 for track days and driving schools for the last few years. It is much cheaper than some of the other high performance options and has a high dry boiling point. I have never experienced fluid boil when used in conjunction with a race brake pad.
Many other high performance fluids come in a metal container which does help with shelf life. This Valvoline fluid comes in a plastic container. Once I crack the top on this fluid, I use only the first pour in my race car and will use subsequent pours in my street cars where the fluid performance is not as cruicial and temperatures are not as extreme.

Comments about Valvoline DOT 3 and 4 Synthetic Brake Fluid (32 oz.):
Brake fluid is hygroscopic,absorbs water and rots the lines and anti lock system.Flush all my cars and put synthetic fluid in when the coolant is flushed.Keep my vehicles 10 years and doing little things like using synthetic fluids cuts the wear and tear down.

Can I use this product in my 2004 GMC Savana? And how do I drain the old fluid out, I can't find any info on that? Thanks!Asked on 12/28/2010 by Cris from Lake Worth, FL1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
This should work fine with your GMC. To drain the fluid out, you can open up one of the bleeder valves and pump the brakes until it stops shooting fluid out. Then close that one up and open another and do the same thing. Continue this process until you have drained all bleeder valves.Answered on 12/29/2010 by Mike the Auto Parts Master from AAP
