From the Service Manual;
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform to DOT 4 specifications and SAE J1703 standards. No other type
of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage in the vehicle brake system. Use only MoparT brake fluid or
an equivalent from a tightly sealed container.

Obviously you do not have to use the Mopar fluid though.
I used MOTUL RBF 600.

It is a good idea to use one which is a different color and then you can see when the new fluid comes out of the caliper.

Is that an oil or a coolant flush?
If oil then I'd say put in new oil and change it after 1,000 miles if you think the car has not been looked after.
If coolant I'd say do it with distilled water, getting out as much of the old coolant as possible. CLICK
Or run hose water through the block for a while. CLICK

My advice to every new person is read all the stickies in each group. You can learn a ton in an evening. And download all of the downloadable manuals and guides.
