Can I Use Dot4 In My 32?

[West]

Hi,

As topic stated, can i use DOT4 brake fluid in my 32 instead of DOT3 as Nisan recommended?

Only reason is i'm getting my DBA fit today, thought i might as well use DOT4 instead.

Cheers

Yep, even use DOT 5 if you want.

Higher the DOT rating the higher the boiling point of the fluid, but remember that Higher DOT also means it'll absorb moisture quicker, so you would change fluid more often.

be careful what you say, dot 5 is not compatible with dot 3/4 fluids. its silicon based and will not mix with dot 3/4 what so ever. its really not recommended at all due to the issues you have unless everything in the brake system is new or flushed properly.

dot 5.1 can be used with dot 3/4 however and is great for abs systems.

just be careful, as its easy to get confused, as dot rating are not just relating to heat rating....

Yeah i was thinking the same...3&4 are vegetable based right? Anyway i guess the answer is yes you can use DOT4

Yeah, what they said. Always read labels on container first too, to check for compatibility etc. Thats what I forgot to add too.
