I personally would use DOT 4 and recommend Castrol LIMA DOT4. The bleeding sequence has to be done in order to make sure any air is removed.

1. Left rear wheel
2. Left front wheel upper, inner
3. Right front wheel upper, inner
4. Right rear wheel
5. Right front wheel outer
6. Right front wheel lower, inner
7. Left front wheel outer
8. Left front wheel lower, inner

It is alot easier if you have a pressurized bleeder as you don't have to pump the pedal.

I have used this sequence a couple of times on my 75 164 and 82 245 and never had a problem with air remaining in the system.
