On a 550, what is the proper brake fluid? My manual doesn't specify.

Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

Is 1984 older? I don't think DOT4 was on the market here then, would have probably been DOT3.

I am aware of the Green labels being mineral/LHM etc from dealing with DBs. No green tags/rubberbands/caps that I see.

As a rule, if it is an older machine it will require specification "Dot 4" standard brake fluid.
Reservoir and cap carry no special markings.
Later models requiring anything different, usually carry a "green" tag on the master cylinder or reservoir cap. This designates a "mineral" type brake fluid. DO NOT mix the two.
others may be able to help out more,
Evan.

This will very much confirm what Evan has said. In the UK any master cylinders requiring mineral type fluid will have a green cap or tag on them.
MF's combine brake fluid requirement is for DOT 4 fluid to MF spec M-1123. This conforms to SAE J 1703 and DIN ISO 4925. It has better operating characteristics than DOT 3.
