The 2010 Ford F-150's brake fluid type is specified as DOT 3 by the manufacturer, but it is also compatible with DOT 4. The main contrast between the two is their boiling points; DOT 4 can withstand higher temperatures than DOT 3, which can make it a preferable option in certain situations. However, in most cases, you won't reach the extreme temperatures where this difference matters, so you won't really notice any advantages. Furthermore, DOT 3 is generally cheaper than DOT 4, sometimes significantly so. If you're not going to benefit from the upgrade, why spend the extra money? It's best to stick with the manufacturer's recommendation of DOT 3 to avoid unnecessary expenses.
