Personally, I think that there are good reasons for switching to
silicone (DOT-5) fluid, and also good reasons for sticking with a
DOT-4 fluid. The decision as to which to use depends upon your
circumstances.
There is a summary of some of the pros and cons on the VTR WWW
pages at http://www.vtr.org/maintain/brake-fluids.html
Read up about it, weigh the pros and cons, and make the
decision that is right for you and your car!

a gorgeous day like this instead of in the solid
rain we've had for the past week.
