Brake/clutch fluid: If dot3/4 is recommended for europe, what would we use in africa? 3 or 4?

The manual says: Except for Europe : Dot 3
...but DOT4 brake fluid has a higher boiling point than DOT3 so personally I would opt for 4

Dot 4 has a higher boiling point, but is more hygroscopic (absorbs water faster).
So use Dot4, but then replace brake fluid annually...

Very little. Maybe 150-250ml?

Peter, what "Dot" brake fluid can we use in our Patrols. I know one shouldn't mix, for example Dot 3 with Dot 4.

Cedric, the manual states Dot-3 or Dot-4 for Europe, and Dot-3 elsewhere. So pretty sure that either or is fine. However, refer Peter's earlier disclaimer regarding hygroscopicity.
