[T3] brake fluid

[matthewNstanfield <ikkabod70@earthlink.net>]

<x-flowed>i am starting to work on my brakes now that i got my engine running.  
the does not seem to any brake fluid in the system (or at least very  
little). the resevoir is empty and there is no resistance in the pedal.

what type of brake fluid should i be putting in? i have bottles of  
dot 3, dot 4, and dot 5. the dot 3 says for anti-lock brakes so i  
don't think i want to use that one. the  dot 5 and dot 4 just say for  
hydraulic brakes. though the dot 4 does say mixes with all dot 3 and  
dot 4 brake fluids. this leads me to think i should be using the dot  
5. is this deduction correct?
