Default Brake Fluid

Lots say that Pentosin Dot 4 LV meets the LR specs. But the "marketing mumbo jumbo" says that is for cold climate conditions, which I would not call Colorado Springs or definitely Georgia most of the time unless going up to Pikes Peak during the winter.

What do you guys use? Does anyone user synthetic? Any suggestions that meet the ISO 4925 standard?

Yes, lots of questions lately. After I get past this stupid electrical problem, I am flushing and or replacing all fluids.

Brembo DOT 4-LV (DOT 4-ESP) it’s readily available locally and meets the spec.

CHF 11S or CHF 202. They’re compatible with each other and mixable. Fuchs Titan (= Pentosin) is the brand.
