I recall there being a big difference regarding one type absorbing water
vs the other ( DOT 5 I think ) not doing so. From postings I would guess
that 3/4 of the people who own old, large military trucks use 'DOT 3'
and the others DOT 5.
I did run across one FAQ at a lubricant companies site which explains
the differences pretty well.

The only other thing I recall is don't mix them :]
