Brake fluid is important for safety, and contaminated brake fluid can lead to malfunctions such as expensive ABS. DOT3, DOT4 and DOT5.1 are compatible, but DOT5 is not compatible with any of DOT3, 4 or 5.1. DOT3 is sufficient for general use, and DOT4 is good for high-speed driving.

Refer to your own vehicle manual for required tools.
