Dot 5 Silicone fluid opinions

Blah blah blah...
DOT 5 works fine. Stops when you press the pedal, doesn't eat paint. Don't overthink it.
Yep, because how they perform is totally irrelevant. Not like it's anything related to performance or safety at all. 9" drums stop when you hit the pedal too. It might only be once, but who cares, right?

Sure, use whatever you want, however if you're asking for an opinion of someone who actually works on OEM brake systems as day job, and has a reason to care, I wouldn't use silicone DOT5.

And before I get jumped because Ehrenburg said something, he can be wrong too, his opinion is also not backed up by any data. There are exactly zero silicone DOT3 and DOT4 fluids.
