For those interested, I posted last week regarding my suspicions that this fluid was causing clutch master problems for me. I'd bled repeatedly, replaced clutch and master and still had a dropping pedal. By powers of deduction and Saab karma starting with most expensive down to least....
This weekend I pressure bled all the Valvoline fluid out and replaced with Castrol LMA. I got absolutely no bubbles anywhere, so I know that the slave or master were not leaking air. Ran about 16oz. or the Castrol through for good measure.
After 3 days of driving the pedal has held firm with no variation what so ever. No freeplay has developed in the pedal. I figure that the Valvoline Syntech stuff must just be too slippery for our seals. As always, your results may vary.
