Valvoline Synpower brake fluid gone?!?!
How did I miss this? The Valvoline synthetic brake fluid we all know and love, for its high temp boiling point and low, low price, has been discontinued. Apparently several months ago.

I hate to pay for ATE or Motul, but it looks like I don't have much choice now. Valvoline's replacement (which still says synthetic) has a significantly lower wet AND dry boiling point.

Anyone else found an inexpensive alternative?

Ate superblue is really not that expensive in my opinion, I pay $16 a liter. I am not sure what it sells for retail though...

Motul is only $7.88


DOT 5.1 brake fluid, 500ml, STANDARDS : DOT 5.1 mixable with DOT 4 and 3, Long life fluid : The high wet boiling point (185°C / 365°F),

btw, I still have a bottle of the valvoline plus a couple bottles of the castrol syntec brake fluid. I like both.
