New clutch - brake fluid

New clutch - brake fluid
Installing new clutch; brake fluid reservoir drained out during removal.
Not sure what brake fluid was in.
Would like to use DOT3 if possible:
1) suck old out and new in at rear left, then rear right, then front left, front right, then clutch slave?
2) Can I use DOT3. If not, DOT4 at least (don't really want to use the exotic Audi stuff; never around for refills, etc.) And this is a good opportunity to get rid of whatever was in there (I know you can't mix Audi with regular stuff).

In my experience, these cars prefer to be bled in the reverse of the "typical" order. Begin with the clutch. Then, move to the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear. I like to use a power bleeder for bleeding rather than pushing fluid through using the master cylinder. I have heard of people damaging the MC by pushing it past a certain point.
