All of the above has errors!

Yes dot 3, dot 4 and dot 5.1 are compatible, you just end up with the worst characteristics of both when you mix them, the lower initial boiling point of dot 3 and less desirable moisture boiling point curve on dot 4 as it ages and picks up moisture.
Dot 5 is silicon, incompatible with all others, DO NOT MIX DOT 5!

There is also a Dot 4 LV low viscosity (or Dot 4+) for some late model traction control/abs systems.


Thanks for picking that up 2 hawks, I did a typo and wrote 5.1 instead of 5.
