Re: Changing from mineral-based to silicone hydraulic fluid.

Nelson:

I converted my GT6 to silicone 3 years ago simply by emptying the DOT 4, and
bleeding through about a quart of DOT 5.  No problems whatsoever, and I'm
about to do the same for my TR6.

I think the problems with this procedure are overblown, especially on a
vehicle that gets regular attention.  I'd recommend rebleeding the system a
bit a few months after conversion.
