Default Brake Fluid

Well, I am obviously not used to the newest version of S2ki. I thought the annoying window on the right was for a site search. So instead of an old thread from say Under The Hood appearing, I have started a new Vintage thread. So please bear with me.
I have always replaced my brake fluid with the OEM Honda DOT 3. Last year while at The Dragon it probably "reached the boiling point" after some extreme driving and I had a mushy brake pedal. A friend recommended Type 200 (DOT 4). I did a search off of this site and Wilwood Hi-Temp 570 (DOT 3) looks good but expensive.
If any of you have a suggestion I would appreciate it.In the mean time I will do a proper search of the site for existing info.

I used ATE. It's good enough for a Porsche.

Any brand name is fine. I use a variety of fluids. I think I have Motul in there at the moment.

I put this in the S and now in all of my vehicles with VSA (MDX). My 09 S has, of course, VSA. This is going in most modern vehicles today from the factory.

ATE SL.6 It is a DOT 4 (Class 6)

Been using ATE for a while... and very happy with it.

Don't like brake fluid in plastic containers, never know how long it has bee around absorbing moisture.
