Why would you want to do that? Dont even tell me because you got 1/2 a can of Dot 3 and 1/2 can of Dot 4 and you need 1 whole can.

Well since DOT 3 and DOT 4 are both polyglycol-based, and not silicone, to answer your question, yes you can mix without problem [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

It's alright to mix them, they even say you can mix 3 and 4 with 5.1, even though I wouldnt get into that, mixing 3 and 4 is deff. okay.
