Default Re: Brake fluid for MB

Penrite's recommended brake fluid (on the internet) for MC Mondeo is Super DOT 4. At the ford dealer I'm told it's Motorcraft Super DOT 4, and you can buy it cheaper at Repco. At Recpco the label reads: For esp brake systems we recommend Penrite DOT 4 ESP brake fluid. Does that mean Super DOT 4 is not recommended or just the other one is safer? And there's this: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Ford-.../dp/B00BNVK2TY Which has the LV (low viscosity suffix). While at Supercheap I saw SCA branded DOT 5.1 bottled in Queensland. The label read it was suitable for ABS and ESP. ($24/l) I finished up with the Penrite Super DOT 4 on special at Repco for $12/l in 500ml bottles. (DOT 4 ESP at $32/l from Repco.)

Last but not least, Penrites chat reply:

AGENT 4: You can use the ESP although for your model we recommend to use the product you have which is suitable for vehicles with ESP.

WTF?
