Default DOT 4 LV Brake fluid

Anyone out there ever use Pentosin DOT4 LV brake fluid. It meets the ISO 4925 Class 6 specification. If not what brake fluid would you recommend for a brake flush. I don't track my car if that matters.

That's the fluid I picked up for the car, but I haven't needed to open the bottle yet.

+1 on the Pentosin LV.

If you do a Google search for DOT 4 LV brake fluid, most of the 'hits' are for that brand. (Some, for Motul)

I need to go find it but I had a lab testing of the major DOT4 SL6 fluids. The ATE was the lowest viscosity, perhaps not the highest boiling point but the best choice. (this does NOT apply to the CCB that uses a different class of fluid)

I would recommend a Glycol based 5.1. It has a higher wet boiling point (even if your'e not a racer). But it's like most things oil...does it really matter???

It's what I had on my garage shelf for my mountain bike - Gravity and pedal flushed and topped up the whole system. All fine.
