I have ACE component. Any brand recommended?   Ian Bentley (Ibentley) New Member Username: Ibentley Post Number: 37 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Friday, September 19, 2003 - 06:45 pm:    I believe the ratings work like this: ABS - DOT4, it's rated for the higher temperatures. Non-ABS -- DOT3 or DOT4. I've always bought a 'name' brand of brake fluid. Don't know if it matters a damn, but brakes are the last place to try to save a few pennies.
