Your basic yellow container of Prestone DOT3 is all one needs. Lucas? Why. It's got to be more expensive than Prestone and harder to find.
Getting ready to bleed brakes. Do you shake the bottle of brake fluid?

No, shaking will just introduce air bubbles. More air that will need to be bled out. Probably minimal but still.
Good point.
5.99 is all I'd ever spend on that but I'd still rather get a quart of supertech dot 3 so I don't have to support a bad company. 3, 4, and 5.1 but not 5 are synthetic by default.
You aren't putting bubbles in the fluid here if you shake the bottle then pour in the reservoir or pressure blender vessle. Good lord. So driving around it gets shaken in the reservoir and this doesn't seem to cause any vessel. BITOG paranoia level 11 unlocked.
Interesting. Which side is the brake reservoir on?
I get the question, for some reason I shake everything before using. I think because a mechanic told me once to shake the new oil to mix the additives that settle in the bottom. It was probably true in the past, probably not so much anymore. No clue, but I still do it, but I'm sure it hurts nothing either way.
Maybe ask you primary care doctor. There are probably drugs that can help with your need to shake everything.
Please don't shake babies.
You probably got air in it. I see reservoir empty on front section which should be rear brakes if I remember correctly.
The whole reservoir is full to the full line.
try again after putting on glasses.
