I'm going to my novice DE at Hallett raceway in two weeks, and need to replace my dot 3 with dot 4. I did a search but nothing came up. Everything else on the car is up to specs. Whats the best method to do this? Is it just bleeding the brakes till all the fluid is changed? Do I drain the entire system, then refill and bleed, bleed, bleed?

Thanks in advance, Curt
