You can't go wrong with Castrol LMA. It is a DOT 4 fluid that has a good
heat range and Low Moisture Absorption. When to change the fluid is probably
dependent of how you use the car. As a daily driver you should be good for a
few years, assuming the entire brake system is in good shape. As a show car,
you would probably want silicone brake fluid (DOT 5) and change it annually.
If it is a race car, you should probably change it before each race.
