It is true that you cannot use an air powered bleeder for DOT 5.  It will put air bubbles in that will be pretty hard to get out.

But - if you get speedbleeders  http://speedbleeder.com/  it will make your life easier.

 I was told by a college physics professor that silicone may be quick to ta=
ke up air but it is also quick to give it up.=C2=A0 That is why they use si=
licone oil in high vacuum pumps.=C2=A0 So the trick I use is I fill the res=
ervoir and wait a while before bleeding.=C2=A0 I fill it and walk away. I g=
o do something else and come back to the brakes in a couple hours or the ne=
xt day.=C2=A0 This gives it time to release any entrained air.
I've run DOT5 in my cars for the past 20 odd years with no issues above and=
 beyond normal maintenance.

The trick/tip that I learned from this list (maybe from Randall Young) is af=
ter bleeding dot 5 and you still have a soft pedal, hold the brake pedal dow=
n with a board wedged between pedal and seat. Leave it overnight, good to go=
 the next morning. Worked for me several times.=20
