In my manual for the Vauxhall VX 2300, year 1977, it says that the right Brake Fluid is of the type GM-4653-M.
Trouble is that I can not find out on the internet weather this is Dot 3 or Dot 4 Brake Fluid (DOT 5?)...... Would be nice if someone did have that answer.

The brake fluid reservoir on a Vauxhall Meriva is typically located near the back of the engine bay, on the driver's side. It is a small, translucent plastic tank with a cap labeled for brake fluid. You can easily identify it by looking for a symbol indicating brake fluid or by following the brake lines from the master cylinder. Always ensure the vehicle is off and cool before checking fluid levels.
