Mine was just done for free by the dealer as part of the routine maintenance.

Whatever DOT4 on sale at your local chain store.

Also check you dealer for specials - my local one routinely offers $129 or smtgh like that.

I use Ate Gold 200, 2 one liter cans will do a flush (I use about 1.75 liters and "over flush" each corner. I usually source from pelican parts.
