Default I'm using Motul 600...

It has higher boiling points that most of the others. Since I occasionally take my car to driver school track events, I felt better with the extra insurance. Depending on your brake usage though, you may not need something with the highest boiling points.<ul><li><a href="http://www.swedishbricks.net/700900FAQ/Brake%20Fluid%20Comparison.htm">Brake Fluid Comparison</a></li></ul>
