DOT 3 is best just stick with it. its waht HONDA uses.

remues

the buy both... my bottle say dot 3 and dot4 ^_^

DOT 3 & 4 are the same type of fluid, but DOT 4 requires higher boiling points. DOT 3 doesn't FORBID the higher boiling points, so if a fluid satisfies DOT 4 it automatically satisfies DOT 3.

Get DOT 4 it typically a better fluid for lots of stop and go driving (hard stops like in auto cross) the price differrence is negligible.

It has a higher boiling point making it more stable. Don't get DOT 5 it is not compatible with your car.


I personally recommend ATE Blue or or Castrol LMA....

they are minimally hygroscopic.

Get DOT 4, you CAN mix it with DOT 3, so you dont have to worry, and it has a higher dry and wet boiling point...
