any DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid.

Try HONDA dot 4 fluid.....or go something like This (http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Castrol-Response-Brake-Fluid-Dot-4-500mL.aspx?pid=100250#Description)

Just make sure if u want to use dot5, u should flush the system well because dot 5 + dot1-4 = corrosive and burn ur brake hoses.

Factory uses dot4, so stay with dot 4.

DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 are compatible.

DOT 5 is not compatible. If you combine DOT 5 with 3, 4 or 5.1, then the mixture will attack the internal seals, causing it to swell and lock up.
