Hopefully someone else with experience will comment on the DOT 5 brake fluid, but I thought I'd mention the new (ish) DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Never mind the confusing DOT nomenclature, it is a modern version of the DOT 3 and 4 fluid. It has the temperature handling capability of DOT 5 (probably why it is rated with a 5) and greatly improved moisture control. I think they make a long life version that is safe to leave in a car for 10 years, as opposed to the 2 year (I think) recommended life span of DOT 4. You can add it straight do a DOT 3 or 4 filled car and just bleed until new fluid comes out the bleed valves.
