Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I had a look at the bosses' 07 Hilux reservoir cap today, it said Dot 3 only...

Personally i think if you are boiling brake fluid (that is in good condition) in your 4wd then maybe you need to rethink either your driving style or what you are expecting out of your current braking system.

I just checked on the 95 Honda in the garage.
It says "DOT 3 OR DOT 4".
The brake booster and master cylinder appear to be made by NISSIN (not to be confused with Nissan).

Also checked a 99 Subaru RSK-B4
It says "DOT 3 ONLY".
The only brand on the brake booster and MC is "NF".

Just too add here.

I think some countries require certain types, for example, the D21 factory manual from the USA says to use Dot4

The factory manual for japan says to use Dot3.

Both are nissan brand.
