Before I switched to silicone brake fluid,I had to rebuild the brakes and boosters all the time.

I switched to silicone brake fluid 25 years ago and would never switch back.  Everything should be new before you switch though.

Just my two cents worth.

I run DOT 4 in mine, no issues.  DOT 3 would be ok as well but I standardized on one brake fluid for all my vehicles.
