stupid question about brake fluid! dot 3 or 4?

I have lots of dot 4 brake fluid knocking about and was going to bleed/change fluid this weekend. But after reading the manual it says use Dot3 only.

Is dot 4 just the more updated version of dot 3? or is it adviced to find some dot 3.

its a 16valver by the way

thought so, as I've never seen dot 3.

Used dot 4 before, ill use that again then

Yep, DOT4 is just a "better" DOT3 fluid, so just replace all the fluid with the DOT4 you got.
