I remember a few years ago that they strongly stressed flushing out the
existing system of conventional brake fluid. So I didn't change. Bob K in

> DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone based and is not compatible to use with or
in DOT 3 systems. I've read that it will deteriorate the seals in a sytem
not designed for it's use. I've worked on both DOT 3 and 5 brake systems.
Information provided with all components for each express the importance of
not mixing components or fluid. Hope this helps.
