been using dot 5 since the mid '90's. there was a post quite a few years back on this website about dot 5 screwing up the rubber stuff. took the brake system apart on the car that had been using dot 5 for about 10yrs and found absolutely no damage. i have no issues with dot 5 and will continue to use it.
Absolutely. Silicone fluid hasn't been a problem with brake system rubber parts for decades!
I have it in my Dart and it works great. But I was very careful not to aerate the fluid and I bled it slowly and carefully.
A lot of those manufacturer disclaimers sound like legal CYA to me.
"Aeration and foaming" is a problem with ABS systems, otherwise it should not be happening under normal braking...
Now let the "But it will cause a fission reaction and explode, killing millions of people, if it's mixed with glycol fluids, even traces" begin...
