Do you have the same nightmares about DOT 4 brake fluid?

The DOT number refers to a United States Department of Transportation 
specification for brake fluid.  Any brake fluid that meets the same 
specification should be compatible and have properties that meet the 
standard.  Thus the fluids would be virtually identical from a 
compatibility and performance standpoint.

Personally I would rather lay in bed counting TR3s cresting a ridge and 
dropping down into some tight curves on a lonely mountain road.
