one thing i see time and time again, are guys pumping the pi$$ out of the pedal, aerating the fluid and having trouble bleeding the system, no matter what brake fluid is being used.
i always just gently depress the pedal, open/close bleeder, then gently allow the pedal to rise.
while doing so, i have a clear hose attached to the bleeder, going into a small clear jar filled with enough fluid so the hose remains immersed in the fluid.
this has worked very well for me for over 50 years.
i just acquired a vacuum pump bleeder tool, so i will try it out the next time i need to bleed brakes.
just my experience, your mileage will vary.
