according to the haynes manual DOT 3 or 4 is safe in our cars (in the clutch cylinder replacement section it specifies DOT 3). i was reading on clarks garage they say DOT 3 is NOT ok, only DOT 4.

Yeh, I've heard that dot 4 is the recommended upgrade...
Don't mix 'um right?

dot 3 and 4 are both ok, I dont think there is a problem with mixing,
you cant use or mix dot 5, but you can use dot5.1 if your unsure, flush it out and use dot 4, dot 4 is a slighlty differnet spec. (I think) i use dot 4 in my s2 with no probs ade

Clark said DOT 3 is ok, just a mess up. he also told me that it has a lower boiling point. so i guess DOT 4 is just preferable for track cars
