Doesn't really matter so long as it's DoT 5.1.

I use Motul 5.1 in my 03 WRX which I got from AS Performance. I had braided pipes fitted so had it all replaced at the same time.

I've never had an issue, with DOT 4 even with prolonged track use.

Are you sure you need it? plus it absorbs water at a quicker rate so needs to be changed more frequently not good for the pocket.

It is not about the DOT rating as this does not directly influence the performance or heat resistance. DOT 4 fluid can perform better than 5.1. You have to look at the actual specs of each fluid.

I always use Motul RBF600 in mine and it is the choice of many in the know.

Take a look at the specs:

Millers DOT4 is what I have been using in all my cars for the passed 6 years and I will continue to use it.

I can get it from a local Motorsport outfit for £18 a litre.
