Lightbulb Brake Fluid

What brake fluid do you use?
If you've changed, what did you use before and why did you change?

motul 600, and im no expert but i think i boiled my stock fluid prior to the upgrade. that brake fade is scary!!! i used stock whatever is from the factory from mercedes its got to be a generic dot3 brake fluid, i havent done any track days on the motul, but it has a much higher boiling point so i hope to not have my brake pedal get mushy on me anymore.
