Dot 4 Brake Fluid. Does Brand Really Matter?

Dot 4 Brake Fluid: is there anything significantly different between which brand to go with when doing a brake flush/bleed? (or just pick up any full synthetic Dot 4 brand at your local auto part store)?

I like/use Valvoline 601457 Dot 3 & 4 brake fluid. It is supposed to combine the best features of DOT 3 with DOT 4. It exceeds the specifications of both. Given Hyundai's issues with corrosion in the ABS modules, I feel like having the lower moisture absorption of the DOT 3 spec is a good thing.

That's my go-to for brake fluid too. Used it in my Jeep JL, my Tacoma, and my G70.

That's a solid choice for fighting corrosion. Good thinking.

I will try it out. Thanks for the response.
