Randall,

DOT 5 compatibility?
> If all else fails, you just fill up with glycol.  It's fully
compatible.  Besides, DOT 5.1 is not any easier to find than DOT 5.

It's my understanding that DOT 5 (silicone) is not compatible with
anything but DOT 5.  Dot 5.1 (glycol based) is compatible with DOT 3 and
DOT 4. Mixing DOT 5 with any other DOT creates a nasty, unsafe mess.

Happy motoring,
Jay
