? Reality Check - Can I use FULL SYNTHETIC Brake Fluid in my 04 R1150RT ??

[chat_vmax]

I am to bleed my brakes and just picked up

[ Valvoline ]

SYN Power - Full Synthetic Brake Fluid

 

Labeled on container as

" Exceeds Dot 3 & Dot 4 "

" Compatable with Conventional Brake Fluid"

 

Opinions.....??

Is it fine to use,,,??

 

My Intention is to do a full bleed...

Advice Requested....

Thanks Much

AFAIK, It should be fine. Mixing DOT 3 or 4 with DOT 5 is the big no-no.

Pretty much all brake fluid is synthetic these days - it seems like that maker added the label as a selling point. As long as the fluid is DOT4 it is just fine for your bike.

I've used that EXACT fluid for the last three rounds of brake bleeds... No worries

I'm sure that it is OK, since it says fuly compatable with DOT 3 and DOT 4. It was all I could find in the consumer parts houses like PepBoys and AutoZone. However, FWIW, I found DOT 4 at my local NAPA store for $5.55 including 6% sales tax this week.
