Brake fluid

What brake fluid goes in a 2003 wrx?

I've got a service manual for the sti and it lists DOT3, things normally take DOT4.

Recommended brake fluid:
FMVSS No. 116, fresh DOT3 brake fluid

If you have done work on the braking system it would be a good idea to replace the brake fluid. Do you know when it was done last?
DOT4 or DOT 5.1 are the preferred grade.
