It doesn't matter what brand of brake fluid you use, as both use the same as you say.If the makers state dot 3 than use that, and if dot 4 then use that. Most systems actually have a pipe from the brake reservoir going into supply the clutch nowadays.Just make sure you don't use LHM or mineral brake fluid unless the car is meant to have it, example Citroen.
