Buy some DOT4 fluid, doesn't matter what brand, get as much as you need only, and don't keep whatever you have left - it degrades once opened. If your bleeding technique is okay 250ml will be plenty for the front.

FWIW I use old brake fluid and left over stuff to clean calipers.Not good for painted surfaces though.
