Are you going to keep the car for some time? You could use Silicon DOT 5.1 fluid which never needs changing, does not absorb water or hurt your paint or corrode your seals, has the same wet and dry boiling point etc etc. If it was requested by and designed for the US military it must be good stuff. Drawback is the cost, c £20/litre, but I say what price do you put on your life?
I put some in my Beetle 5 years ago (all new brake system) and haven't touched the brakes since (>50,000 miles) except to replace pads.
