I've been using this as well for years. Never lost a pedal on the track with it if it was less than 6 mos old. Once it is more than a year old it is useless. The good news is that it is cheap. This will NOT hurt your brake system.

I've got speedbleeders on the calipers now that I've just done the brakes, so it'll be easy to do the brake fluid at least once a year, more often if it needs it.

Thanks for all of the replies. Sounds like I will be going with the Valvoline
Syn. I think that the book says 1 quart will do for bleeding but I'll pick up a couple to be sure. Thanks again

I have never needed more than one quart to get clean fluid coming from all four calipers.

1 quart will be plenty, don't stock up on it, use fresh every time.
