Brake fluid recommendation?

[V10SpeedLuvr]

I was doing a inspection of all the fluids and i'm low on brake fluid. Should I go to Dodge to get some or is brake fluid from AutoZone or somewhere just as good? Its DOT 3, right?

I give it heck a little now and then, but no track time and dont redline the gears much at all

I use the Blue Oval brand, ran SCCA A/S, and lots of road courses with NO problems what's so ever Dry boiling is 550', and it's dirt cheap no Viper Tax added

Val. Syntech at Autozone. Very good product for a fraction of the other race fluids. High temp too

DOT4 not DOT3. If you don't track there is no reason to get expensive track fluid. Advanced (Discount) Auto has qt bottles of Valvoline DOT4.

Motul makes some really great fluid.

Motul does make great fluid but the only downside is that it is a brownish color right out of the bottle.
Val Syntech is a great Dot4 fluid and clear.
Blue Oval is good too.
Castrol SRF for about $100 is the best.

Since you don't (or rarely) track your car, seems like Valvoline SynPower (500 degree dry, 340 degree wet boiling points) would be a good choice. Not as high wet/dry boiling points as Motul 600, Castrol SRF, but you don't have the water absorption issue and won't have to constantly change your brake fluid and it is a lot less expensive.

We carry BrakeMan and have for years , as alot of folks use it that run Viper Days, but definitely use a DOT 4 and not a 3 when you flush. Listen to da folks, and Autozone 3 is not the way to go!

Autozone Val Synthetic is not a Dot3. It's clearly a Dot4.
