Yes, you can mix synthetic DOT 3 brake fluid with regular DOT 3 brake fluid, as both meet the same performance standards and are glycol-based. However, it's generally recommended to stick to one type for optimal performance and to avoid potential chemical interactions. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for your vehicle to ensure compatibility and safety.
