I use a plastic Gatorade quart bottle as a bleeder bottle. Get two feet
of 1/4" clear plastic tubing. Drill a 3/8" hole in center of cap, and a
1/16" air bleed hole also in cap. You now have an unbreakable bleed bottle.
The silicone brake fluid (DOT 5) will not mix with regular DOT 3 or DOT
4 brake fluids. Just like oil and vinegar salad dressing. Place some DOT
3 or 4 fluid in the bleed bottle, and bleed out a little fluid from the
system. If it sits on top, you have silicone in the system. If it blends
with the rest, you have regular brake fluid.
