Good brake fluid for daily driver

About to get a brake fluid flush and just wanted to get some advice on a good brake fluid for normal daily driving. I'm thinking about using either Valvoline dot 3 & 4 synthetic brake fluid or Prestone dot 3 synthetic brake fluid. Anybody have experience or advice about either one? Also, how large of a bottle is needed for a full flush? Appreciate any feedback.

I've used Valvoline Synthetic DOT4 fluid in the past and found it to be a good product. Good dry and wet boiling thresholds and not too hydrophobic. You'll need at least a full one-liter bottle to to a full bleed on your G.

I've found the prestone dot 4 to not darken as quickly as the valvoline stuff. If you change it every 2 years it doesn't matter which you go with IMO.

How are you doing to the bleeding? Pressure bleeder or something else?
