IIRC (but check the owner's manual), the correct brake fluid for the
Vanagon is DOT 3.  It matters, because they have different volatility, and
different ignition temperatures.  Whether they are mutually soluble or not,
I am not certain, but I would not mix them, just as I would use the type
recommended by VW.
