Thumbs up Valvoline & Castrol GT LMA brake fluid

Well I purchased the Valvoline brake fluid which I read is pretty good compared to Castrol GT LMA, I bought it on sale for $5.99 for 32 ounce bottle at Advanced Auto Parts in Yonkers,NY, the sale ended 8/29/12.
Since I don't track my car , I believe this is a good fluid.

Valvoline Synthetic
High dry boiling point up to 480°F
Minimum wet boiling point is 311°F

Minimum wet boiling point is 311ºF

I've used both brands in various cars over the years with no problems.
