With my new brake MC due to arrive Friday or Saturday, I was all set to
convert over to Silicon DOT5 fluid. Then I did a little Google and stumbled
on the article at this link:

http://www.xs11.com/tips/maintenance/maint1.shtml

Too bad it's the condensed version as the original article ran 6 pages, but
it's written in such a way that even I can understand it! Then I Googled
some more and found other articles that support this one.

The more I google "DOT5 Brake Fluid", I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling about
it but I know a lot of you folks are using it in your cars with much
success.

What's your experience been?
