I've been using regular DOT3 brake fluid from autozone. The fluid turning black has more to do with the line running from the master to the slave cylinder being too close to your exhaust and the heat cooking the fluid. If you insulate the line and move it away from the heat, your fluid won't get black like it is, unless your seals are going bad.

Neo 610. Takes a while for it to turn black, even without the insulation mod.
