Default brake light

my 01 dak. the brake light came on. and the pedal is not feeling right. that's ok my mech can fix it. but my paper factory service manual does NOT say which brake fluid it use. DOT-2. DOT-3. DOT-4 i dont really know what number they are up to now. but my mech will. they did the same to tire numbers. i learned one number system for tires in high school the shortly after they changed the number system.

DOT-3 on the brake fluid. It should say it on the cap as well.
