The recommended brake fluid type in the 2012 Hyundai Sonata is DOT 3. However, the vehicle is also capable of using DOT 4, but You'll likely never reap the benefits. Why DOT 4Comes at a higher price point to account for its higher boiling point. In some performance applications, this can be advantageous; however, through regular usage, You'll never notice a difference. I say this because, although DOT 3 is recommended, You'll do just as well with DOT 4. On the other hand, it's certainly not worth the premium You'll pay, because in everyday usage there are no benefits. On the other hand, if You have extra DOT 4 lying around, You're certainly able and welcome to use it.
