brake fluid

[TomRJade@aol.com]

last month there was a lot of info about brake fluid going around, I did not 
keep any copies of those chat room discussions.  I received an e-mail from a 
friend telling me not to use the dot 3 fluid ( deleted that also),  the 
reason being that the british rubber will not hold up.  What was the out 
come?  Do I use the silicone dot 4 or the straight dot 4 price not being an 
issue.  Can I also use the same for the clutch?
Thanks
