The new Castrol LMA (low moisture absorption) is now synthetic and it IS 
compatable with DOT 3 & 4.
We stumbled across this with Fr Jack's Sprite. We ran out for a 2nd 
bottle of Castrol Synthetic only to find out we could have used some 
from one of the older bottles in my garage which is Castrol LMA but not 
synthetic.
What you have is good, but it is wise to replace all the fluid in the 
car when the master gets replaced.
You can do this easily bu just pumping it out of each wheel cylinder 
until is comes out clean. Start in the back, work towards the front.
