Agreed! A named brand Dot 4, such as Castrol, not the supermarket stuff.
Oh no .. Was in Halfrauds yesterday getting some ATF for the Alfa's steering and saw ...
Wait for it ...

Yes, and it's still a mineral product but the intervention of clever people with large foreheads means that synthetic petrochemicals, instead of being refined from crude, are refined from certain specific, separate parts of the crude and some of the remaining layers are modified to address shortcomings of the original process so although it's labelled that way, its origin is still mineral.
Seriously, the tribology boffins' office at work has special doors that allow for the extra size and weird shape of the researchers' canisters. The old Tefal ads were based on tribologists' cranial characteristics! They make mech & prod engineering look like the place where the folk who couldn't get on media studies courses end up..

Oops, sorry about that but fear not, I have a solution! I have two brain cells and one of them is looking for a promotion so if you want it, I'll pop it in an anti static bag and post it your way..

Hmm, I thought that it was the old Cadburys Smash aliens (showing my age!) that were tribology boffins. I must have got it wrong, and really they were mobile defibrillators!
