Will there be a compatibility problem?  For example. there is a compatibility
problem when silicon brake fluid (DOT 5) is used in a syetm that previously
used dino oil (DOT 3/4/5A).  If this is a similar situation, you will have to
replace all the seals in your ZSs before changing to silicon.

Can anywone throw some light on this?
