I was wondering if our recommended Dot #3 brake fluid is comparable with Dot#4 and Dot 5.1 for our Marauder. There is a video I watched on Rock Auto when looking at brake fluids. My understanding after watching the video is the other fluids would be fine. I just want to be sure and not ruin anything. TY

I have no real world experience with DOT 5 or 5.1 but the internet says 3, 4 and 5.1 are compatible and 5 is not compatible with anything. Personally I would stay away from 5 for that reason.

You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference
I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

The glycol-based brake fluids include DOT3, DOT4, Super DOT4 and DOT5.1. DOT5 is a silicon-based brake fluid and does not mix with the glycol-based types. Most cars use DOT4, but always check your handbook for guidance.
In general, the lower the number, the lower the fluid’s boiling point.
