DOT 4 should be fairly common. Many ABS systems require DOT 4. Castrol
LMA is most popular but most stores also carry Prestone (Black can). DOT 5
is OK except that everything has to be clean and if you lose a hose away
from home you'll have trouble finding it. You can use DOT 3. What ever
you use you should bleed every other year (just like you do on non-LBC
vehicles).
