I use any brand on sale at local Autozone as long as it is DOT 3 or DOT 4. Don't know if there is much of a difference in brands but sure someone here will have an answer. Be sure to get the large size and bleed those brakes a couple of times to get the air out.

Ya doesnt matter at all as long as its Dot 3 or 4. I usually grab the stp one...its cheap makes me feel better then the gallon for 3.49 although...about the same, but its the feeling Im putting more into it that counts right?

most brake manufactures only recommend brake fluid from a metal container(like factory ford fluid) but ive always used the regular stuff in the plastic(the reason for using the metal is it doesnt let moisture in like a plastic bottle)brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atomosphere
