This thread is ONLY about DOT 3 brake fluid. If we get all the other types and numbers involved this will go off the rails. No silicone in this discussion please!

I just learned that all the DOT 3 brake fluid that I can find right now is synthetic. Can DOT 3 synthetic be mixed with the 'regular' DOT 3 - the previous version that says nothing about being synthetic on the bottle?

Thanks

According to my search Poly Glycol based fluid is compatible with synthetic fluid but not silicone based fluid.
