[Healeys] Castrol Brake Fluid

[Dave Russell]

Castrol GTLMA states on the can that it contains "Alkyl Polyglycol Ether 
Esters" which by definition IS synthetic. Castrol has stated in the past 
that although not so stated on the can, GTLMA is a synthetic. Apparently 
they now feel that there is some advantage to saying so on the can.  I 
think that by now  including "synthetic" & stating that  & you "may 
notice a slight difference" are merely  an attempt to  update their 
sales pitch.

Valvoline "SynPower" also a Dot 3, Dot 4 synthetic is just as good or 
better than Castrol & a lot easier to find.
