Yes it is perfectly fine to use and I use it myself and have used it for the
past 4 years and 85k miles.

Just don't use silicone break fluid. Synthetics are fine and I believe
not as hydroscopic. I believe that is the correct term which means to
attract water. Regular break fluid attracts moisture and as such lowers the
boiling point of the break fluid which is the main reason it should be
flushed regularly. I don't believe synthetics are as hydroscopic but I may
be wrong.

I don't imagine you ever have to worry about boiling points of break fluid
though.

I still wouldn't get it on my paint though.
