DOT4 or DOT 3 Brake Fluid?

I am about to flush the brake fluid and I need an advice on the fluid type. I checked the owner's manual and it calls for DOT3. I always used the ATE Blue DOT4 blue fluid in my previous cars. It lists it as compatible with DOT3 systems. Advice?

Dot 3/4 and 5.1 are all compatible. Just don't use Dot 5.

ATE blue is good stuff, use it.

I Use DOT 5.1 but like stated above DOT 4 will also do...

Dont use DOT 5! without the .1 is made different and it will destroy your brake lines + ABS Pump.
