I have been using Valvoline brake fluid for the last few years without an issue and it says compatible with DOT3/4. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/valvoline-dot-3-and-4-brake-fluid-32-oz-601458/7080002-P?searchTerm=brake+fluid As far as I know the differences between DOT3 and 4 are very small and they can be mixed. The DOT5 CANNOT be mixed with the two.
