[Healeys] Castrol Brake Fluid

[Awgertoo at aol.com]

Since various lube/transmission/gear oils are billed as "synthetic   blends" 
can we assume that mineral oil and synthetic oil can in fact be  mixed with no 
bad effect and if so why not with hydraulic fluid as well?

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.
