Topping up dot3

congo_90 · 2010-05-27 17:27:15

Hey just a quick one in relation to brake fluid. I need to top up the brake fluid in a car after bleeding the brakes. Can I get away with topping up with some fresh fluid or would I have to do a flush? Thanks.

DOT 3 can be mixed with DOT 4 they are compatible, DOT 4 actually has a higher boiling point than DOT3.
DOT5 CANNOT be mixed with DOT3 or 4 as it is silicone based.
