Thanks brother, I went to a stupid part store who told me that my Suzuki ignis had dot 4 brake fluid because he showed me a bottle of dot 3 that was red and said dot 4is transparent but my master cylinder cap shows only use dot 3 but I pored dot 4 about 85 ml to top the cylinder and took the car for a test drive it was good and got to the you tube and your vedio relieved me. Thanks

Thanks I was having a heck of a moment trying to remember. I knew one was silicone based and couldn't be mixed with the rest but for the life of me couldn't remember if it was 3 or 4. I forgot about 5.

You can mix them In normal street vehicles, but if you’re going to take your car to the track drive hard and get your brakes really hot I would not recommend any DOT 3 fluid, we use dot 4 in our formula 3 prototypes because of its heat resistance properties.

You can mix brake fluid "up", but not "down". If your car specifies DOT3, then you can use DOT3 or DOT4. But if your car specifies DOT4, then use DOT4 only. It should say that on the top of your brake fluid reservoir cap.

My late husband would take a shot glass of dot 3, mix it with a shot of dot 4 and say "Down the hatch"! at weddings. He was a laugh riot at these types of events - until he got stomach cancer....
