I have used silicone for years without any problems....added  plus it does not 
attack paint..an accidental drop can wreck on a nice paint job. Have seen 
comments that silicone gives a spongey feel, but not that I noticed.

The BN2 is at the point where it is time to fill and bleed the new brake

system.  Now comes the time to decide whether to go with DOT 3/4 brake

fluid or try silicone.  Any recommendations,  advice or warnings on this

decision?

DOT4. If you want to try silicon you would have to rebuild your entire 
hydraulic circuit and fit all new rubber components. It may sometimes work 
without a rebuild or it may fail as DOT4 and DOT5 (silicon) are not compatible 
and do not mix.


What your life (and others) worth??

Sorry, did not read the question properly.


In a new system you have the choice obviously.


I would go for DOT4, which absorbs water, and change that every two years. That 
will get rid of any moisture getting into your system before it can do any 
harm. It also forces you to check the system when you replace the fluid. It is 
cheap and available anywhere.


The problem with silicon brake fluid is that it does not absorb water. Water 
will always enter the system because of condensation in the brake fluid 
reservoir. This moisture can than settle in the lower parts of the system and 
cause havoc unnoticed until it
 leaks.

In this instance I  agree with Kees.

The decision comes down to personal preference IMHO.

I would like to say a few words on behalf of silicone brake fluid.It is 
non-hygroscopic (does not absorb moisture).It does not damage paint as do 
glycol fluids.

A newly rebuilt and scrupulously clean brake system filled with silicone fluid 
should outlast a system filled with glycol fluid by several times.

The military specifies Silicone brake fluid for a reason.?

Michael--


Both have pluses and minuses--I simply feel that DOT 3/4 has more of the

former and fewer of the latter than does silicone, but that's just me.
