I'll ditto that. I've switched three LBC's from Castrol LMA to DOT 5, and the
only failure I've experienced was to lose a clutch slave cylinder, which may
have
just been coincidence.
I do recommend draining and pumping out the system, and then pumping through a
quart of DOT 5 before closing off the bleed screws for the last time. Just for
good luck, I also do another bleed some three months later.
