Just some dot 4 brake fluid will be what your after mate.

Most likely it will be DOT 3.
Now we need a debate on whether you can use DOT 4 in a system that specifies DOT 3 ONLY.

funny, i was just wondering about dot4 in a dot3 only. haven't got a clue.

[nissannewby]

dot 4 is a better fluid i belive higher boiling temp etc same viscosity

[GeeCee]

But a mix of DOT 3 and DOT 4 is worse than DOT 3 alone.

^^^^ super true, mix dot 3 and 4 and it turns into sludge, if your going dot 4 then make sure you do a proper flush of the system.

got some dot 3 thanks fellas

Cheers!
