?I received a master cylinder with the same warning. I happen to have a
relationship with someone who works for Moss, so I asked him. he said it?s a
liablitiy issue ? that if you mix dot 3/4 and silicone, unpredictable things
happen. so they put this warning on. there is absolutely no reason whatsoever
not to use dot 5 (silicone) in a brand new master cylinder.

I just got a new brake master from one of the big 3. On the side of the box
in huge lettering is a sign that reads "use of silicone fluid voids the
warrantee". What's up with that?
