I just called Criswell parts (Gaithersburg Lotus Dealer) asking about the proper brake fluid to use when I do a flush on my 2005 Elise. I was told that any DOT 4 fluid was fine.

To get a more specific recommendation, I called Euroclassic parts (Richmond Lotus Dealer) and asked the same question. I was told that any DOT 3 fluid was fine.

Could somebody tell me the correct answer, and perhaps recommend a brand that is commonly available?

Thanks
