Bob,
OPINION - Some fluids react with other fluids, (DOT 5 will supposedly
precipitate with some blends of DOT 3 & 4) If you don't know what is in
it I would empty it - bench bleed with your choice of fluid and then
install.
You wouldn't want the rubber in your system to degrade after all that
work!
Be safe not sorry later.
