The manual and brake fluid reservoir states DOT3 but you can use DOT4. But NOT DOT5.

Deffo not dot5
(DOT 5) should be avoided because it is not compatible with regular brake fluid, it is hard to pour without introducing bubbles and thus results in soft pedal feel, and moisture still gets into your system and will pool in low areas like your calipers and encourage rapid corrosion. STAY AWAY!
