Your master cyl reservoir cap should say which type to use - So should tour Owners Manual. DOT 3 and DOT 4 can mix, so it shouldn't be an issue. Only difference is DOT 4 has a higher boiling point. Sure hope you didn't spill that stuff on your paint :(

PS. DOT 5 does NOT MIX with DOT3 or DOT4

I REPEAT NEVER MIX DOT 5 W/ DOT3 or DOT4!!!!! :light:
