If you are not taking it to a race track, any name brand standard DOT 3/4 fluid will do you fine. Even at that, I have used Valvoline DOT 4 fluid from a local parts store before going to the track, and it was just fine.

Says right on the resivouir DOT 4 ONLY.

I just used Napa heavy duty dot 4. Flushed in great.

Made a HUGE difference. Bought the car in October. No idea when or if the fluid was flushed. My pedal is now solid as a rock compared. RR caliper had air in the inside chamber. Glad I finally did this!!!!!!!!!!
