That would only happen if the fluid was up to that higher temp. so if I had a few abs engagements, before getting the fluid super hot, the lower temp fluid would disperse into the other fluid.

Correct, meaning you have diluted the new good fluid with the old not so good DOT 3 fluid. How much of a negative impact will this have? Who knows.
DJ and others will say to use the Tech II mentioned above. I will say this is the best way, but not the only way, especially for a novice on the track.
I did what you are doing two years ago. I did not do the tech II flush. My method was a feed and bleed approach.
- Replace fluid in reservoir with new Motul fluid.
- Bleed all four corners until only new fluid comes out.
- Drive car active ABS several times.
- Rebleed all four corners until only new fluid comes out.
- Drive in first track day activating ABS several times (to say the least).
- Rebleed all four corners at the end of the day until only new fluid comes out.
At that point, I think it is fair to say you have almost completely flushed the old stuff out.
If you have the time and money, tech II is best. If not, the above is fair alternative.
