Basically silicone (DOT5) brake fluid is not recommended for a couple of reasons. First, it's not hygroscopic (does not absorb water0, so any water that gets in there through condensation, etc, will roll around, causing corrosion. Second, it foams easily, causing a soft pedal. There's more you can google.
