I'm bleeding my brakes today because I can tell there is some air in the lines. What type of fluid should I get? All are about the same price. The vehicle is a 2003 GMC Envoy that requires DOT 3.
FVP (DOT 4) from Menards
Motor Medic or Resolute from Fleet Farm (both DOT 4)
Prestone (synthetic DOT 4) from Walmart (but then I have to go into Walmart)
Valvoline DOT 3/4 synthetic from Advance
These are also in order, from top to bottom, of most convenient to go and purchase. The FVP has the best specs as far as boiling points go from what I've seen (thought I've had a hard time finding the dry boiling point for Prestone).
I do have a 5 year old 32 oz bottle of the Valvoline that is unopened, but I'm guessing I still shouldn't use it being that old (it has been in the garage through winters and summers)? I will probably need more than one bottle anyway.
Thoughts?
