Default Good To Use DOT 4?

Only reason I ask is I looked in the Owners Manual and it tells me to only use Honda Genuine DOT 3 branded brake fluid...? Didnt know if this new fluid would eat the brake lines or seals or mess with the ABS system.

Will be using ATE 200 DOT 4.

DOT 3 and DOT 4 are designed to be compatible/mixable. Spec-wise, why wouldn't we do this?!
