What fluid should I use? DOT brake fluid?
OK on any I've seen.

W/ the caveat it's highly unlikely it will have a DOT 5 (silicone-based)
fluid but be sure to not mix the DOT 3,4, or 5.1 (glycol-based) with a
DOT 5 if it were to be (or vice versa).
Again, place to find out what was recommended/used before going ahead.
Actually, I'd presume there would be at least a reasonable chance
there's an indication on the master cylinder cover or a decal or
something that notes the DOT classification.
