Not to get too far off track but, I was told in my Hydraulics Brakes session at college, that you can mix DOT 3 and DOT 4, the only difference is that DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3, but not by much. So I am not sure why DOT 3 is would affect the brakes in the hydraulic action.
They do have this stuff called DOT 5 which is like a synthetic brake fluid used in high speed/high performance motor sports, and that is purple colored. It has a rather high boiling point, and cannot be used in a conventional system or more-or-less mixed in with DOT 3 or 4.
They also have this stuff called DOT 5.1 which can be mixed with DOT 3 or 4.
Just my two cents.
