Default Dot 4 Brake Fluid For Clutch, Right?

Use dot 4? Is one brand better than the other? Is it all synthetic?

Thanks.

I use Pennzoil Dot 4 from Wal Mart, or O'Reilly's store brand when I have a coupon. Doesn't really matter the brand.

Over the years, a few here on the Forum are of the opinion that Prestone DOT 3 & 4 are very good for everyday driving use. It is readily available most everywhere including Wally World so that is what I have been using in the vettes and other cars.
