Check again.. I've called all 5 walmarts within like 20 miles of here. All of them have pulled it off the shelves. I've been trying to find some for a week now.

I've read several reports of people having problem with Valvoline. I wonder if there's something I can order online.

motul 600 or AP 600

both can take a lot more heat that anything you can buy at the store, both dot4 and both won't boil on hard launches if you ever drag race

motul 600 is easy to find online and 18 shipped at amazon

ATE is similar and costs 1/2 as much - $20 for 1L vs 1/2L plus it comes in the cool blue color for when you flush your system. Good luck with it.

Any dot4 fluid is fine, and they are all synthetic. I just use the brake best stuff from autozone.
