I had put DOT 3 brake fluid in (thats what I had on hand) and i see now that it says DOT 4 on the cover. Am I okay to run it/ what problems might it cause if i did?

DOT 3 And DOT 4 are compatible with each other.

No worries!

I never understood the difference. one is more of a liquid and the other a little thicker like an oil. i have DOT 4 in my car

same with my antifreeze. a VW requires G12 coolant (special stuff) but dealers just put regular stuff in lol

Dot 4 has a higher boiling point. There is no way you're going to get brake fluid in Blaster anywhere near the boiling point.
