Im not a brake fluid specialist but i would think it wold do something thats not good. DOT4 has a higher degree rating. U might want to call a dealer they would prolly be more specific with u.

Re: would it hurt if i run dot3 break fluid

ive used both and actually mixed them cause im lazy. dot 4 works a little better. if ya do a long burn out combo it will last longer than dot 3. same thing for practicing endos and what not.
