Hi Kelv. I would personally recommend Putoline Dot5.1 but 4.1 will be fine also. I used to have major problems with seals not lasting and poor brake performance but after changing to this stuff I had / have very few issues. I do a full fluid change on around 10 meetings and a full seal / fluid change on around 20 meetings. I am no expert but I notice people who run the synthetic stuff have a lot more problems than me. We bought a brand new Tonykart Viper in January which came with synthetic fluid in it. We had brake problems first time out. After that weekend put in new seals and putoline Dot 5.1 Problems solved (and should be for 10 meetings plus). Hope this helps . Phil
