depends on what you use the car for , ive got castrol SRF in mine and am happy with it .

from memory you will need about 1.5 litres to change the system (i think )

i had AP 5.1 in my cossie and i thought it was crap btw

Ferodo 5.1 in mine, exceeds all standards, I've had no problems with it. Buy an eezibleed and you can safely and quickly change fluid yourself, using the spare tyre.

I have super dot 4, seems fine Agree on the eezibleed kit, gunna have to invest in one, I have a one man bleed kit, which is infact shite and so two man!

Glad a mate has an eezibleed, sorted my brakes
