Hey gang,
I've found this FAQ from the Bel-Ray site to be great for putting to
rest the what-is-compatible-with-what and where-should-I-use-silicone
debates.
http://www.belray.com/consumer/Q&A%20pages/q&abf.html
Bel-Ray is a well-known supplier of high performance fluids in the
motorcycle world which is why most of the FAQ mentions bikes rather than
cars, but I think the basic information is most useful: Silicone fluids
are not compatible with glycol fluids, and DOT 5 does not imply silicone
everywhere in the world.
