    i don't think there's any such thing as a "synthetic" brake fluid. i
    know people sell the stuff with "that word" on the bottle, but since
    glycol-ethers have to be synthesized anyway, i don't understand why
    they're not /all/ "synthetic". personally, i'd avoid the hype, return
    it and just get ordinary dot3.

    Synthetic is DOT5? huh? Is it that bad that companies just put anything
    on the bottle just to sell it? [scratches ones head, and thinks geez,
    well maybe]

    I bought the Prestone Synthetic Dot 4, but it reads will work perfect
    with all dot 3 and dot 4. I bought it because it will work at the
    highest temperature (500F), and it gets so damn hot here and humit that
    I figured it maybe a good idea to get it. It's clear like water.

    No. It's been clarified that SILICONE fluid is DOT5.

    DOT 5.1, confusingly, reverts to ether/glycol, though.
