Dave,
According to a chemical compatibility chart I have, Silicone Oil (DOT5) is
has excellent compatibility with the following plastics:
Polyethylene
Polypropylene
Polysulfone
Polyurethane
And also excellent compatibility with the following elastomer: FKM or more
commonly known as Viton.
I believe I used Danco brand #36 o-rings from Home Depot. These are either
polyethylene or polypropylene.
I have had DOT5 in my car for over three years and no leaks or problems. I
had replaced all the hoses, seals, rear wheel cylinders, and brake master
cylinder as well as the same time.
Cheers!
Michael
