Ford actually makes an excellent brake fluid, that delivers good performance 
and is quite cheap.   However, I have since become a convert to ATE brake 
fluid, which is simply better, and only a little more expensive.

As an added bonus, ATE makes the same fluid in two different colors 
(traditional amber, and a very distinct blue).   This makes flushing the system (which 
you should do periodically) quite simple.   You fill the system with blue 
fluid, then bleed the brakes until all the drainage from the calipers is pure 
blue.   Then when it comes time to change again, you siphon the blue out of the 
master, fill it with amber, and repeat the process until you're bleeding pure 
amber fluid.

Direct link to the blue stuff, with an indirect link to the amber stuff, 
appears here:
