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.

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...
