Default Fluids......

I'm taking my S in for regular maintenance and was wondering if I should upgrade to better Oil Brake fluid etc. and what brands you suggest.

OEM Brake fluid is fine if you never track your car. I use Honda MTF in the Tranny (the old kind though with the blue cap; there's a new one that came out with a white cap on the bottle and I heard that was better). I'm also very happy with LE607 in the diff.
