Thinking about fitting some brakes today. When ive changed the calipers i'll have to bleed them. Do i need to bleed anything other than the front calipers? Do i bleed them with the engine running?

What brake fluid should i be using to top up my system?

I always bleed all 4 corners just to be sure there's no air in the system.
