I use the Super Blue Racing Fluid from BMP. It has a higher boiling point that DOT4, but unlike DOT5 which is silicone, you won't have any issues with leakage. I will try to find a link for it Edit: here is the link Super Blue

Get some of the regular stuff that the dealer uses. I believe its DOT 4 and with your stock brakes your get brake fade beore this stuff even begins to boil. |

Just a "heads up" re: brake fluid - stick with DOT4 (super blue, etc) STAY AWAY from Silicone brake fluid - the only advantages of silicone brake fluid is low moisture absorbtion & if it leaks it won't remove paint (on frames, calipers, etc..) The REALLY BAD about it - it compresses to almost half it's volume in altitudes and under extreme pressure.  |
