DOT 4 meets and exceeds DOT 3. DOT 5.1 meets and exceeds DOT 4 and DOT 3, but is harder to find and more expensive; typically it's used in newer high performance cars.

I would not use DOT 5 silicone brake fluid. You should flush out all the old fluid if you do, and the next person to add fluid may not know the switch has been made. Hardley motorcycles use DOT 5, mainly because it won't hurt paint.

DOT 3 will probably work just fine, but I suspect JD was concerned about heat under severe conditions. DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3.
