Which brake fluid do you guys recommend for stock brakes and pads? It's been over 2 years since I bought the car and I haven't done it once...

You can also any other brand name as long as it says DOT 4. As long as you are not racing the car. Street use only.
Thanks gentlemen!

I went with BMW's fluid the first time around. I'm now using Pentosin DOT4 LV (low viscosity) because apparently our ABS works best with a low viscosity fluid.
+1. Pentosin. Not familiar with the LV. Not sure of the ZHP requirements on low viscosity. Any related documentations on ABS?
I think I ended up using 2 bottles for a bleed. You would probably need 3 for a full flush+bleed. Plus, its always handy to have an extra bottle just in case.Quote:
