Default Brake fluid, is dot 4 ok?

Hi all,

My manual says use to use dot 3 brake fluid but I checked in my local parts store and I couldn't find any. But I found lots of dot 4.

Is this ok to use? I can use it in my other car so I am hoping I can use it in the z28 too.

Thanks very much

Yes, DOT4 is good. It's DOT5 that is not compatible.

Is DOT 4 any better than DOT 3?

YES. The boiling point is higher.
