Which brake fluide?

Hi all,

Do you guys know what kind of brake fluid I should be using on a 97 S600? The user manual and alldata both mention MB DOT4 but I tried to buy from the online shop I saw 4 variations (attached), any ideas?

The top 2 are the standard which you should use in your 140. The bottom 2 are for more heat heavy applications, so unless your carving corners on a track you should just stick with either one of the top 2 listed.

Motul RBF 600 is pretty much the shiznit at 593 degrees F. dry and 420 degrees F. wet boiling points ($20 per half-liter), eclipsed only by Castrol SRF ($75 per liter - ouch).

RBF 600 it is IMHO.
