WHere can I find some Castrol LMA dot 4?
I have checked already a few local automotive stores, and no luck.
The only dot 4 compatible brake fluid I can find is Valvoline Synpower.

I haven't bought any for quite some time, with good reason. Sam's Club used to sell it in 12 bottle cases for less than $10 a case: I still have about a case and a half. I wish they'd get another shipment in.

What do you use Dot 4 brake fluid for ?
Just curious

"What do you use Dot 4 brake fluid for ?"

The brake hydraulic system in a Volvo 200-series car. You bleed out the old brake fluid and add new DOT 4 brake fluid into the reservoir to replace it.

You can use DOT 4 brake fluid in cars that specify DOT 3 brake fluid, since the only difference is the higher boiling point (extra margin of safety).

for the brakes...
Volvo 240s require Dot 4
I am planning to flush next weekend and Castrol LMA was highly recommanded here on the board

Valvoline Synpower is actually slightly better fluid. But you can find Castrol LMA at mass merchants such as KMArt and Walmart.

I've seen it at Walmart.
