Does it Matter What DOT4 Brake Fluid You Use?
There are three different braking fluids, namely; DOT3, DOT4, and DOT5. DOT3 and DOT4 are both glycol-based brake fluids and are compatible with each other. The two brands can be used in place of each other. However, DOT4 has a higher boiling point. DOT5 is silicone based and incompatible with DOT3 and DOT5.
Facts About Brake Fluids
Brake fluid plays an essential role in the hydraulic brake system of your vehicle. The lubricant prevents the formation of moisture from the heat produced when breaking.
Below are some crucial facts to know about the fluid:
- DOT means Department of Transportation. DOT is a US body that regulates and gives a specification of different categories of brake fluids.Â
- Do not use DOT5 in place of DOT3 or DOT4. DOT5 is silicone based and incompatible with DOT3 and DOT4, which are glycol-based.
- It is possible to use DOT4 in a vehicle that uses DOT3 but not vice versa. Â
- Be careful not to spill brake fluid. The lubricant damages painted areas and finishes. In case you touch the liquid, clean your hands thoroughly.Â

FAQs
Why do lubricant manufacturers recommend more than one fluid for the same purpose?
The companies produce a variety of lubricants for the same application to meet the diverse preferences and demands of different drivers and vehicles in the market.Â
What is viscosity?
Viscosity is a fluid’s resistance to flow measurement. The most important feature of a lubricant is viscosity. It is also used to grade and identify the category in which a product belongs, whether it is a premium or just an ordinary fluid.Â
What is the SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) grading of Lubricants?
SAE is an acronym for the Society of Automotive Engineers, based in the USA. SAE grades engine lubricants based on their viscosity parameters.
Can I Use Any Brand of DOT4 Brake Fluid?
Though DOT4 is made by different companies, the typical characteristics and performance are almost identical.Â
