Bleed some fluid out and drop it into some DOT 3(use a small
container). Silicone fwill not mix with the DOT 3 (if I remember
correctly it will float on top of the DOT 3, don't ask how I know).
Either way I'd make sure all of the old fluid is bled out. If you're
replacing DOT 3 with DOT 3 or Silicone with Silicone a simple bleed will
do otherwise you must fmake sure all of the old fluid is removed.
