Not all DOT 4 brake fluid is synthetic, but most commercial DOT 4 formulations are synthetic or semi-synthetic. DOT 4 brake fluid is classified based on its performance characteristics, including its boiling points and viscosity, rather than its composition. While many brands formulate their DOT 4 fluids using synthetic base stocks for improved performance, it's essential to check the specific product details to confirm its composition. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the best choice for your vehicle.
