What type of brake fluid for 2012 Nissan Altima?

The 2012 Nissan Altima can take either DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, but for all intents and purposes, one will most likely end up using DOT 3 in the brake system. Why Well, DOT 3 and DOT 4 are functionally almost identical, except for the fact that DOT 4 has a higher boiling point. While this may make it sound like a safer bet, in practice, You'll rarely come close. It's important to note that DOT 3 usually comes significantly cheaper than DOT 4, and since it's unlikely that You'll reap any of the benefits of the increased boiling point, You'd do best to save YourseLFA few dollars. Therefore, it's my recommendation that You stick with DOT 3.
