Default Castrol Systhetic brake fluid ok?
I just replaced 2 rear calipers, pads, e-brake pads, and the ABS pump.
I'm ready to bleed it, but wanted to ask if synthetic brake fluid is ok?
Thanks!

All brake fluid is synthetic....which makes the labeling on the bottles a little confusing.

You should be fine with any conventional (that is, non-silicone) 'Dot 4' brake fluid

If you happen to be looking at a bottle of 'Castrol GT/LMA' brake fluid, that should do the trick

Cheers
