I really like Motul fluid - I was using this in my 350Z.

I use the ATE super blue brake fluid. Actually.... I used it today. Its not that expensive and has great reviews online. I will see how it performs.

I used Valvoline Super Syn DOT 3/4 last time I did my flush. No problems (for street use). If it meets DOT 4 spec, then any fluid should be good to use.

I switch between ATE blue and gold so I can tell when my brakes are fully bled.
