That is what I use. I use high temp because I track the car occasionally. Dot 3 and Dot 4 are compatible. I flush the entire system every year.
When I first got the car, I was wringing my hands over the type of fluid the car had. I did a lot of reading and learned that mixing brake fluid with water would tell you if it was glycol ether based (dot 3 & 4) or silicone (dot 5). Dot 5, the water and fluid don't mix, it globs up.
That being said, I am not a mechanic. Always do your own research and double check what any of us say.
