People saying it's absolutely the best bang for your buck but will say it's not exactly top quality

Compatibility completely depends on the specific DOT rating of the Quicksilver formulation you are using, as they sell two entirely different fluid bases that cannot mix.Quicksilver DOT 4 CompatibilityQuicksilver DOT 4 Brake Fluid is a glycol-ether-based fluid.Compatible with: Any standard DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluids.Incompatible with: DOT 5 silicone fluids. Mixing these will cause chemical reactions that destroy your braking performance.Quicksilver DOT 5 CompatibilityQuicksilver DOT 5 Brake Fluid is a silicone-based fluid.Compatible with: Only other DOT 5 silicone formulations.Incompatible with: DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 fluids. Mixing silicone fluid with glycol-based fluid creates a thick, gelatinous sludge that can cause complete brake system failure.

Seriously. It's always amazing how people will wait for answers on here, instead of just doing the quick research and finding their answer in under a minute.

If your car takes dot 3, use that. It can handle more moisture for those that like to go for longer change intervals. Dot 4+ for mad max drivers.

DOT 3 handles the rate of moisture absorption slightly better by absorbing water slower than DOT 4, but DOT 4 handles the presence of moisture better because it maintains a higher boiling point once water is absorbed. Both are glycol-based and hygroscopic (they pull water from the air), but they behave differently. Opinions on Facebook and automotive forums show mixed opinions regarding real-world longevity, with some drivers noting slower absorption in DOT 3 and others noting superior heat thresholds in DOT 4.

Moisture Absorption Rates

DOT 3: Absorbs water slightly slower over time (about 1–2% per year), meaning it takes longer to contaminate.
DOT 4: Absorbs moisture from the air a bit faster due to its chemical makeup.

Boiling Point Performance with Moisture (Wet Boiling Point)

DOT 3: Has a lower wet boiling point of around 284°F (140°C), meaning it loses braking effectiveness sooner once water contaminates the system.
DOT 4: Has a higher wet boiling point of around 311°F (155°C), giving it a safer buffer against brake fade even after absorbing water.
