Brake Fluid

1965 Sprite. New TRW master cylinder being installed, what brand of fluid is recommended please? Warranty states no silicone so looking at DOT 3 or 4. I know Castrol is good but don't see it local- I prefer staying local.

Thank you. Thought I remembered a product with a bad rep but couldn't find it on the search bar.

I suspect the product you are thinking of is DOT 5 - silicone. I use it and love it but not everyone loves it and more to the point it is not compatible with non silicone products. DOT 3 or DOT 4 is great,

I'm leaving DOT 5 and going back to 4. Thank you tho!
