Do NOT USE Dot 5! It is pure silicone, a heavier (more viscous) fluid difficult to bleed and not compatible with other brake fluids. The system must be disassembled, totally rebuilt to work. Flushing with alcohol as recommended by some does not work. Silicone, because it does not absorb moisture as traditional fluids do is a specialty fluid used in the antique automotive world (vehicles not driven regularly) and the commercial aviation (extreme high temps). It is a study in itself and too extensive a discussion for here. Traditional fluids should be flushed yearly with fresh as it absorbs moisture and that leads to internal corrosion and failure of traditional systems. Lots of info and it's pretty black and white, not speculative. This comes from 35 years in the road/racing competitive world and years of teaching. There's a reason it's recommended by new vehicle dealerships to flush brake fluid yearly. Larry
