dot3 or dot4 brake fluid 2001 Dakota

Dot 5.1 is compatible with dot 3&4, as it is polyethylene glycol based. Dot 5 is silicone base fluid and it is not.

DING DING DING!!! DOT 5.1 and DOT 5 are completely different. DOT 5.1 is a new fluid type that actually performs better than DOT 3 or 4 from a wet boiling point prospective.
