Dot 5 Silicone fluid opinions

Rusty, re-read my post, then take aim. I wasn't going all Trump, and not even directed at you. I simply suggested that anyone who lets water drip into their brake reservoir is stupid. Same for the power steering reservoir, transmission fill tube, rear-end, ...

I use glycol (DOT 4) in my 2 minivans, since they have ABS and all DOT 5 bottles disclaim, "don't use in ABS system". I doubt that matters, but don't want a lawyer jumping on that to explain why his client ran into the side of me. I flush thru new fluid every 5 yrs or so. Prudent to flush more often in GA. Every used car I have acquired has had rusty fluid come out, so guessing they didn't understand the need to flush. My new 1982 Chevy S-10 had a leaking, rusty wheel cylinder at 4 yrs. That was in Atlanta, but I still wonder what the GM workers filled it with. You won't offend me by using glycol, indeed silicone is getting harder to find, w/ only motorcycles appearing to ship with it today. I am just offended by people spreading mis-truths about silicone. And don't waste your money on "synthetic" brake fluid, since all types have always been synthetic (i.e. no mineral oils).
