Valvoline Synpower meets the specifications for both DOT 3 and DOT 4 and is perfectly suitable for using a Volvo 200 that specifies DOT 4 as well as other cars that specify either DOT 3 or DOT 4. So is Castrol LMA. Both are inexpensively available at local auto parts stores, so there is not really much of a reason to use DOT 3 (even in a car that specifies DOT 3, DOT 4 gives an extra margin of safety in terms of boiling points at an insignificant extra cost).

Has anyone done any experiment to see if Castrol LMA actually absorbs less water than Valvoline Synpower or other brands of DOT 4 brake fluid?
