Don't mix brands so if you're running the OEM fluid buy the OEM fluid.

I would think that for topping up, any good DOT4 brake fluid would be perfectly
compatible. I like ATE Super Blue or it's yellow equivalent (ATE type 200), but
that might be overkill for topping off.

Depends how much topping off you do. Top off enough times and you're running a high percentage of a different fluid.
That and you also obviously have a problem that needs looking into

And what if he's running DOT 5.1? Yes they're compatible but you really don't want to mix them.
