 Putting DOT 3 in a reservoir filled with DOT 4 or vice versa should not be
a 
problem , they mix well together and the car did not come with DOT 4
when it was new. The boiling point for both is in line with what our car 
can use, the only caution I can give you is not using used brake
fluid, even if it looks clean, water may be in it, lowering the boiling 
point, how do I know ? .... I do not know (big truck towing down hill,
much knashing of teeth, bad dreams...). T

he higher the DOT number the higher the fluid saftey characteristics,
thus less knashing of teeth.
