 Will there be a compatibility problem?  For example. there is a
compatibility
 problem when silicon brake fluid (DOT 5) is used in a syetm that previously
 used dino oil (DOT 3/4/5A).  If this is a similar situation, you will have
to
 replace all the seals in your ZSs before changing to silicon.
 
 Can anyone throw some light on this?

I've used ATF for a number of years in a 72 TR6 and a 80 TR7, and 
frankly, I have recently considered Johnson's Baby Oil as a replacement.
