Any DOT4 will work. The more important question is, how did the fluid get so low? What do the pads and rotors look like? Really low fluid usually means either a leak or total brake job. Give it a good look before driving.

Pads & Rotors looked great @ the PPI in Sept, probably just 1K miles ago, so I'm doubting anything major happened there -- but I will take a close look before I leave the office today. Hoping it's just a bit low, the warning didn't come on until I was pulling into my parking spot, all was fine the whole way in...
