What is the best method to use to replace all the brake fluid in Alpines with Bosch Brakes?

Does anyone know if the 2000 Alpines used DOT 3 or DOT 4 for their brakes? The Bosch caliper manual states that either can be used. Since DOT4 is designed to absorb moisture slower than DOT3 and has a higher boiling point I am inclined to use DOT 4 for the replacement brake fluid.
