DOT 5 200 1987

Yes. Not much point, but yes. See other posts on the topic. Many experiences both bad and good (all good, personally). Flushing and filling with DOT 4 is cheaper. You can add DOT 5 directly to the system with no ill effects but will eventually need to flush out the old stuff (completely un-mixable, that is to say they separate) mostly because it will entrain moisture and cause rust when trapped under the silicone.
For severe duty with glycol based stuff try DOT 5.1 (similarly pricey).

Mike!
