Brake Fluid (DOT 3)

Brake Fluid

Some of the new Superduties have been out now for almost two years now. I was always told to drain my brake fluid every two years.

I understand from the 2012 F-250/350/450/550 Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA that the truck comes loaded with Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid. Are we able to substitute the Motorcraft Fluid for ATE Brake Fluid SUPER BLUE RACING (DOT4). Would this be possible? Has anyone looked into this yet?

Thanks

DOT 3 and 4 brake fluids are interchangable. I would not sweat running the fluid mentioned. And I flush the brake fluid every two years as well.
