There is also 5.1 brake fluid to confuse the mix even more. It is compatible with DOT 3 and 4.

The newer formulations of DOT 4 are quite good.

By the way, the lazy man's tactic to keep the brake system in shape on a classic vehicle is once a year to use a hand pump and suck out almost all (not all!) of the brake fluid in the master cylinder. Then top it up with fresh fluid. I know a guy who has done this for decades and never had a problem with his car's brake hydraulics. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
