hi Graeme, I've used Castrol Dot 4 without any problems, some are less prone to moisture contamination...not sure which.
Cheers Claude.

use DOT4. It`s boiling point is higher.
Also if you look in the owner`s manual it says to use DOT4

Don't use DOT 5. It is not compatible with a system that has use DOT 3 and 4.
