I can't imagine why anyone would bother with DOT 3 brake fluid, since DOT 4 brake fluid has a higher wet and dry boiling point, can be mixed with DOT 3, is easily available, and is not very expensive.

DOT 4 is listed for Volvos at least as far back as 1982.

A question: does Castrol LMA absorb moisture slower than Valvoline Synpower? The latter costs the same but claims higher dry and wet boiling points (both are DOT 4).
