Ate Typ 200 which you can get at amazing.com is IMO as good as any street brake fluid you can buy. If you track your car there are other brake fluids with higher boiling point.

check your brake pads for wear, depending how low the fluid is. With it being a closed system and all if looks really low might be an indication of really worn pads.

Agree, Ate 200 for street.
Prospeed 683 for track work
