Another difference is the effect on paint. Most know
conventional brake fluid is tough on car finishes while Silicone
fluid is not. But a problem with Silicone, so I've been told,
is that it can cause trouble when it comes to repainting the
car. It's apparently tough to detect and remove where it's
inadvertently gotten onto the old paint.
I typically convert hydraulic circuits to Silicone after a
rebuild, but continue to use the same care as with
conventional fluid around the bodywork.
