Default Think I need to bleed my Brakes ... need confirmation of fluid

I have noticed for the passed month that my brake pedal pressure has softened (hopefully just air in the lines}, and feels better after 1 pump of the peddle. My Crossfire has about 55000 miles on it and new pads put on about 6000 miles ago. I'm very confident about the shop that I'll go to, but I want to make sure that they use the proper DOT 4 (mb331.0) brake fluid. I realize that the whole system needs to be checked, but if only a brake bleed is done, are all the DOT4 fluids compatible with each other, (barring a complete flush). The prudent action would be to just evacuate the system, and check everything, but I'd like to save the bucks. There appears to be no leaks anywhere, Appreciate your coments
