Brake Fluid Recommendations
I’ve been looking at all the posts that debate brake fluids, the pros & cons, Dot 3, Dot 4, Dot 5.0, and Dot 5.1.
I have a 2004 Z06 Corvette as well as a few other vehicles and I like to know which brake fluid makes the most sense to use.
Cars:
2004 Z06 Corvette
2003 Toyota Camry
2001 Pontiac GrandAM
Truck:
1999 Dodge Dakota
None of the vehicles above see track use and all average road use with the exception of the Z06 which sits more due to it not being a daily driver.
These are the brake fluids I’ve seen discussed here. Which fluid, or fluids, Dot, would be the best for full fluid changes?
ATE Gold
ATE Super Blue
Valvoline SynPower High Performance Synthetic Brake Fluid
Wilwood EXP 600
Motul RBF 600
Castrol SRF
Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Valvoline SynPower High Performance Synthetic Brake Fluid 
If used it for the past two years on my two Vettes.
It has a higher boling point and more resistance to picking up water....
