I've used both. Currently prefer DOT4.
Also everyone is speaking of DOT5 but there are now two different DOT5s.
The first is the older silicone based DOT5. There is a newer Glycol
Ester DOT5 that is compatible with DOT3 and DOT4. It has a lower
viscosity than the DOT3 and DOT4 so it works better in some ABS systems.
It also has a higher boiling point than DOT3 and DOT4. Don't see an
advantage in Healeys.
