Also everyone is speaking of DOT5 but there are now two
different DOT5s. The first is the older silicone based
DOT5. There is a newer Glycol Ester DOT5 that is
compatible with DOT3 and DOT4. It has a lower viscosity
than the DOT3 and DOT4 so it works better in some ABS
systems. It also has a higher boiling point than DOT3 and
