SRAM brake fluid & bleed question

FWIW, DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 are compatible. The higher the number the higher the temperature range. Sram fluid is 5.1 though they say you can use DOT 4. (DOT 5 synthetic is not compatible.)

In a pinch, I’ve used DOT 3 on my Sram Force brakes and it worked fine. It was what I could buy on the spot at my local store.

It definitely doesn’t seem worth it to buy 4 ounces of Sram fluid for $10-20.
