Default Brake Fluid

Hey,

I'm putting the ford racing cobra r 4 wheel disc/5 lug conversion on the lx soon...

It recommends DOT 4 brake fluid. I was at the auto parts store earlier and they seem to have a bunch of different dot 4 fluids and some dot 5 fluids.

Is the main difference in the fluids the boilding point? Whats a good boiling brake fluid that I should aim for? The dot 4s I was looking at seem to have different wet boiling points.

Can I run dot 5?
