First of all you must remove ALL of your old brake fluid.... Second, silicone (Dot5) fluid is slightly compressible (sp?) so it is not used in high performance applications. Honda recommends only dot3/dot4. See the book "the brake handbook" for the scoop on silicone fluid. Silicone is used mostly for antique cars and some motorcyles because it does not damage paint and does not absorb water. geostarnopsamsshub.net (Geo) wrote: >I'm thinking of putting in silicon brake fluid because it doesn't absorb >water like glycol fluid.
