Bleeding Brakes. What DOT Fluid to use, 3, 4 or 5.1??
I have an 08 G35 S Sedan. I am putting new brake pads, rotors and brake lines.
I would like to use a diff. color fluid to make it easy to bleed the system to clean. I can't seem find a DOT 3 in blue like ATE brand.
Is there a problem using DOT 4 instead??
Any help is valued.

Yes Dot 4 is fine. If you are in the US then the ATE Super Blue fluid is no longer available since the dept of transportation now mandates that all brake fluid be a clear to amber color. ATE type 200 is a good fluid and is the same product and I use it on both my Porsche as well as the Infiniti. it's about 20 bucks for a 1 liter can.
