DOT 4 or DOT 3 ?
 
I noticed DOT4 brake fluid on the shelves. What are the differences between it and DOT 3 ?

I think it's primarily their heat-handling capabilities. The DOT4 will have both a higher wet and dry boiling point. They are compatable, whereas a DOT5 is silicone-based and is another animal altogether.
