my thoughts exactly.That's the general consensus, with a little bit of difference of opinion in some discussions and literature. We overthink this and many of us over-generalize without regard to individual situations. I.E., a daily driver in the flatlands has lesser needs than someone towing in the mountains or racing their cars. Unless you really need the higher temperature ability of DOT 4, it is not "better". And if one neglects their brake fluid, DOT 3 might hold up longer (moisture).
Similar discussion 4 years ago: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/dot-3-vs-dot-4-brake-fluid.345487/ And, I use Prestone because is doesn't sit on the store shelves long.
