Thanks,

Standard DOT 4 will be fine for you. We don't put DOT 3 in anything. I am sure it would be fine but there isn't any reason why not to use DOT 4. You don't need to use any Blue or other racing fluid as you are just using it for the street. I don't think you will ever get your brakes hot enough. Just be sure to bleed them every now and again.

I dunno- "Canyon driving" is a potential load. I like to find DOT-4 brake fluid with a high "wet boiling point". My understanding is that the wet BP is based on fluid with some moisture content, as would be typical with a DD exposed to wet conditions. At m last flush, I put in Valvolene Synpower. It was at m FLAPS, cheap and had pretty good stats:table found by google
