It was my understanding that Dot 5 was developed for the military with a 
requirement that it have an almost indefinite life, that is, it did not require 
any type of flush and refill.  The reason being that many of these vehicles sit 
for extended periods, sometimes for many years in storage without any kind of 
maintenance or upkeep.  They wonted the vehicles to be ready, understandably, 
whenever need without worrying about fluid degradation.  This is also one of 
the main reasons that this fluid is recommended for street rods and motor homes 
etc.  This is because many of them sit unused for long periods ant then are 
brought out and used 
So the short answer I would give would be the life of Dot 5 is almost 
indefinite -
