I was just checking my lines today. So DOT 4 isn't a good idea? I was keen on checking out Motul Dot 4 brake fluid.

Not a good idea. Try AMSoil series 500 DOT 3. Almost the same Wet and Dry Boil points as DOT 4 without the potential issues.

not a good idea at all...just get some dot 3 no need to worry about boiling points and all that theres not a big enough difference for the hassle and its not worth the possible trouble
