All the OEM fill-caps have a label on them saying which fluid they suggest.
If you want to switch to DOT 5, make sure you completely disassemble and clean the master and the caliper.
If you want the benefits of a higher boiling point, go with a DOT 5.1, which will mix with 3 and 4. IMO, this is unnecessary in motocross applications. Save some money and get a good DOT 4.
This info is readily available anywhere they sell RBF.
As it comes to temperatures not all brake fluids of the same DOT rating are equal. DOT just sets min requirements on boiling, as such some fluids meet the min spec and some strive to be market leaders. Here is a great link comparing fluid types. Brake Fluid Comparison Table
I run Motul RBF600, price is reasonable, wet boiling point is plenty high, and most motorsports places stock it. Also just as a note, I typically always compare brake fluid wet boiling points. Unless you change the stuff regularly all glycol based fluid will pull in moisture, so the dry boiling points are just fancy numbers, the true system degrade at the wet boiling points.
