Default Ford's Super DOT4

Can we use Ford's Super DOT4 in our cars? The can said not to use it in a DOT3 system. Thought DOT3,4,and 5.1 was intechangable with DOT5 Silicon being the only one thats not. Is the statement just self preserving lawyers yappin or does it really not mix? Need to know as I really don't want to buy the pricey Motul stuff. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

If so, that's wonderful stuff to use, just pick it up at any Ford dealer....

Good luck man, you going to Road Atlanta anytime soon?

I've used it for years now. I'm going to switch to Motul just for a bit more safety but the Ford stuff has been really good to me... only a couple of times has it faded under really stupidly harsh use.
