What kind of brake fluid do you use?

Can you mix DOT 4 with DOT 5.1 brake fluid?
This brake fluid does not require cleaning the system and can be mixed with DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 without damage the system. This brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere thus reduces its boiling point (ERBP). It can also damage the paint on a vehicle. DOT 4:This brake fluid is also based upon poly glycol.

Power steering fluid is genuine Nissan PSF II or equivalent. i saw that too….but i figure not everyone would use nissan genuine stuff……for example, ppl use mobil 1, instead of nissan geniue motor oil… i am wondering if they replace it with some top of the line, or may be better brand..etc..
How often should you change your brake fluid?
None of this should be a problem as long as you change your brake fluid every 2-3 years. Old brake fluid (>2 years since flush) can have enough moisture dissolved in it that its freezing point can become problematic at regular winter temps…that’s likely more the issue than the ‘pristine’ freezing point of -50’F or lower.
What are the different types of brake fluid?
DOT 3, DOT4, DOT5.1 brake fluids are the mixtures of glycols and glycol ethers. DOT 5 is silicone base Kinematic viscosity: All brake fluids (DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5 & DOT 5.1) must meet a minimum viscosity test of not less than 1.5 centistokes at 100° C and must not be more than the following to meet their various classifications.

What is the boiling point of brake fluid?
This brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere thus reduces its boiling point (ERBP). It can also damage the paint on a vehicle. DOT 4:This brake fluid is also based upon poly glycol. Its dry boiling point (ERBP) is 230°C minimum and wet boiling point (Wet ERBP) is 155°C minimum.
