I had my system flushed when I installed new rotors and pads and I used Valvoline synthetic. It seems to work fine for me.

My 03 Ram calls for DOT 3 brake fluid. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I don't ever remember seeing a Synthetic Dot 3 brake fluid? I use Ford MotorCraft DOT 3 brake fluid in my truck. It has the highest boiling point that I could find.

all brake fluid is synthetic by nature, your fine. From what I've seen tho the valvoline fluid is the best.
