Thumbs up What brake fluid you running for street?

Just wondering what is a good brake fluid to use these days. I am going to have my rotors resurfaced and I am getting AP2 brake pads all around. I want to do a brake fluid flush so wondering which fluid I should put back in and how much I need for a full flush/replacement? I do not have intentions of tracking the car so for spirited street driving only.

Doing a brake fluid flush with this car you still pump the fluid through till no air bubbles are left or a different way?

I do the gravity change like how billman does. I use Valvoline Synthetic that I can get at autozone.

No familiar with that. Is that the same as the method where you pump the brake pedal and then drain the brake fluid out? And repeat till there air is gone or do you not need to pump the pedal to remove it that way?
