Default DOT 4 BF Any issues?

I need to rebleed my brakes after painting my calipers and a failed attempt to put on SS brake lines, ( StopTech brake lines do NOT fit the C6). So I figured I would use ATE Superblue which is a DOT 4 brake fluid. Anybody know of any issues using DOT 4 ?

I know Alex will say no. Just wondering if anyone else has heard of any issues.

Thanks

Should be no issues-I'm running AP racing in mine.

Do you have a Z51? Were the front lines too short??

I have the base suspension. The problem was that what ST sent me had the round fittings where the lines hook up to the hard line. The C6 has a "square" nut and the bracket hole is square. The round fittings would not fit into the square hole. Also, the rears were about 3 inches to long. Never got around to checking the fronts, sliced my hand open to the tune of 6 stitches while getting my RC airplane ready to sell. The good news is, the motor on the RC plane still runs.
