Synthetic as in DOT5? no... don't use it.
I have to ask why you would want to change brake fluid. A good flush with over the counter stuff should work fine, unless you plan on tracking the car. And if you plan on tracking the car, using Motul 600 or ATE Super Blue will work very well for the temps.

You're talking about silicone based fluid. True, don't use silicone brake fluid.
However, he's asking about synthetic brake fluid. I've been using Valvoline Synpower DOT4 brake fluid in my S for many years. It works just fine.
