Thank you Brian. That of course wasn't what I wanted to hear but it does appear that consensus opinion has turned away from recommending DOT 5 (silicone).

Your post gave me some thought. I'm working on getting my car back on the road after a ~ 2 year hiatus following a deer strike. Given your comments (and the fact that my DOT 5 brake fluid has been in the car for the better part of 15 years) I decided to flush and replace (likely with DOT 4 or Ate Racing fluid).

The good news is that for the most part, the fluid looked pretty good (though not pristine). The (very) bad news is that the brake pedal went to the floor and stayed there!

Now I'm faced with replacing the master which as best as I can recall wasn't too much fun. I also plan on replacing the front flexible hoses. Any recommendations for a reliable source for custom (made to order) flexible hoses would be greatly appreciated...

Many thanks.

KaiS
