DOT3 and DOT4 DO mix, actually DOT's 3,4 and 5.1(different than 5) all mix. DOT5 does not mix with any other fluid, since it is silicone based, and when mixed it creates a very corrosive mixtrue that will it all the rubber in your system. I flushed and put 5.1 in my system, has a higher boiling point which is close or better than 5... I believe the only advantage to 5 is the fact that it will not eat paint.
