I've always used store brand DOT3. Never had a reason not too.
Don't know I've ever caught wind of a "preferred brand" of brake fluid.
Can't mess this one up.
...IMO, you do not need DOT4 unless you drive a race or high performance car.

I buy the genuine brake fluid from the dealer.
When I actually compared DOT 3 fluid from a chain supplier versus the dealer, the dealer price was actually better for an equivalent amount.
Same thing with brake cleaner...
I know...shocking

That is shocking. And would have never occurred to me to even ask for brake cleaner from a dealer. I may check it out next time I'm there.
