Default Brake fluid - what type and how much?

Evening all

Can someone please advise the best choice of brake fluid? I need to get a fluid change and would prefer to supply the inde I use with the best option rather than let him go wild in the aisles.

Any advice on fluid type and amount required?

Many thanks

Mossy

The spec is DOT 4. Its all much the same tbh so anything which meets that will be fine. I use Comma DOT4 ESP because it's synthetic and the local factors happen to carry it for a decent price.
