Default Adding brake fluid... full flush only?

So I feel my brake fluid is low.

Under heavy acceleration the Brake light comes on and sometimes stays on long enough to disable traction control... which is a sign that under the G's of acceleration the level scoops back far enough against one wall to seem "empty" to the computer.

Bough this car used at 22k miles, so I am thinking of topping off the fluid however im not sure if it's OK to mix, considering i can never be 100% sure of what fluid the previous owner before me used...

Is it ok to top off with any Z compatible fluid, or is flushing anew a must?


Thanks for the input guys
