You're really just wasting your money on the super. Unless of course you have racing blinkers or just do alot of stop and go blinking.

I have been pleased with the NAPA brand blinker fluid..

I heard it is from recycled blinker fluid, but it works great for me.

190,000 miles and no problems with my blinkers yet.

Do they also carry a good selection of bypass lines?

Does anyone know if the synthetic blinker fluid performs any better?

You can go longer without changing it with synthetic. Make sure you get a good filter though!

I dont know if I would use the syntetic blinker fluid in older vehicles.. I hear it eats the seals on the relays.

Just about any brand will do. Just be sure and get double extra medium.

I always replace my blinker fluid and my tail light hinges at the same time

It took a left handed sky hook to replace the blinker fluid in my truck.

I recommend the synthetic blend...

It really boils down to what conditions you use your blinkers in. Using your blinkers while towing a trailer or over extended periods would call for synthetic. Normal "blinking" you can get away with standard blinker fluid. Use of emergency flashers is a whole new ballgame. Might need to install an oversize blinker resevoir so as to not build up excessive blinker heat.

Rookie mistake: My junior year in high school I needed to change my blinker fluid, so I go down to the parts store. I'm in such a GD hurry to get the work done and go out that night, that I bought brake light fluid by mistake. Let me tell you....BIG MISTAKE.

Yeah, I know it's my fault for not reading the label carefully, but seriously, why do they have to stock to two right friggin' next to each other?!?!?

Anyway, I'm out and about that night and the first time I go to signal a lane change, my car lurches to a stop but at the pace of my blinkers. Brake, cruise, brake, cruise, brake, cruise. God, I felt about two inches tall.
