I don't know why the warning is given about "on a temporary basis" but the following may have something to do with it---

On some U.S.-made vehicles, DOT 4 fluid can cause problems with ABS systems, and is not recommended at all.

Here is an alternative to both DOT 3 & 4:
Brake Fluid » Brake Fluid » ATE » ATE Super Blue
cool. would you run super blue in the fit? in my other car, rbf600 is the preferred fluid so i have no experience w/ super blue. BTW, any brake pad/shoe recommendations?
