Why is the Valvoline "great stuff" other than it can be purchased at AutoZone or Advance for about $2.50 a bottle?. Castrol LMA (not so easy to find) is a low moisture activity DOT 4 fluid.

I agree, ATE and Motul are excellent brake fluids.

Motive Pressure Bleeder
Thanks to all that have given their opinions! I looked into the Motul and ATE and found it to be much higher cost than the Valvoline. Since this will be for street use, I have a hard time justifying the extra cost when those dollars can go somewhere else. I like the color choice that the ATE offers, if I were to be changing on a regular basis. All great info!!! I think I will be getting a Motive pressure bleeder. Which part number should I use? The Motive site is very vague with their descriptions. Thanks again. Another day I realize how fantastic this site is!!!
