I bought a used front master cylinder off an 89 ZX10 and Im in the process of installing the rebuild kit, the MC says to only use DOT4. I dont have a problem running DOT4 in the system since I have rebuilt the front calipers and cleaned out all the DOT3, plus Ive got new lines on the way.

My question is what are the advantages of one compared to the other, if any? And if I decided to run DOT3 can I run it in the newly rebuilt master cylinder (new seals, piston, spring and Ive cleaned it withs parts cleaner and rinsed it out)
