brake fluid recommendations

for a street vehicle is fine as any auto parts store sold fluid.
Any brake fluid difference you’ll see is with actual racing fluid that has a higher boiling point, which is unnecessary in this application. E.g. Castro SRF, ATE, wilwood etc.
Most any autoparts store off the shelf fluid will suffice if it meets the DOT specification called for in the manual.
Where you want a higher boiling fluid is where you're actually boiling the fluid while racing on a track (not drag racing)or using the tbss in autox or aggressive canyon driving. There are little opportunities to heat and boil the fluid in a daily driver....
Now the price difference often for a slightly higher rating in something you keep in the car for 1/2/3 years in the reservoir is nothing if you do the math... So if you want to tell your friend you put race brake fluid in your ride. Go for it.
