Brake Fluid question

Probably a dumb question, but one day i was checking the brake fluid and it was a little low, so i filled it up with pennzoil dot 3 & 4 brake fluid, according to the car manual i can used that one but i need to replace it as soon as i can, but according to the bottle it is save to mix with other fluids, should i drain it and replace the fluid or leave it.

thanks in advanced

It's fine. I change fluid once a year in my vehicles. I always use valvoline dot 4 full syn. You can get it from pepboys.
