Been a while since I bled the brakes and clutch.  I have Speedbleeders so it makes it easy.  One question though, is all brake fluid synthetic?  I picked up some Dot 4 and it says synthetic but I thought I read somewhere that I can't use synthetic.....that may be Dot 5 though.....any help?

DOT 4 synthetic is good. You don't want to use silicone.

Wasn't there also something about not mixing DOT 4 with other DOT types?
