Keep in mind that DOT5 has been reported to be harder to get a
clean system bleed with. Power bleeding seems to be more
effective than other methods. Also, DOT5 will find its way thru tiny
seal imperfections so a system that's leak-free on DOT3/4 may end
up leaking on DOT5.

I don't know how DOT 5.1 behaves. It's apparently not silicone based
like 5.

I personally use DOT4 - Castrol GT/LMA for years and years but have
switched to Valvoline synthetic DOT4.
