Lee,
We had Silicone fluid in the SNOBMOG for 20 years and never even had to top
it up. Never changed it and had no noticable deteriation in the system when
we dissassembled it last year during the restoration.
On the other hand, I could never get the disk brakes to seal or the master
cylinder to stop sticking on the 330 Ferrari.
