Also to mention that the silicone fluid is lighter then DOT4, so I'm thinking that DOT5 can't displace the DOT4 fluid in the lines. What I would do is blow out the DOT4 with compressed air and then

You have more chance of spilling brake fluid when you fill your master or when you service it. Both are real problems and a high risk for damaging paint. Yes, DOT5 traps air bubbles, but the problem
