Scheduled Maintenance question!

Hi

The last time i changed my brake fluid, (23,000 miles) in my present 02 z-51 A4 the speed shop i used switched my fluid to Wildwood and i was able to tell the difference.

Now that i will be picking up my new used 07 also Z-51 27,000 miles
should i also switch to Wildwood.

The shop i used is up in NJ and new shop is in Ga.

Plus i will ask to switch to 160 degree thermostat. Speak to the about a cold air system and a street tune.

Thanks

so for street any DOT4 is just fine and if you bleed your brakes once a year they will be better (firmer pedal)
