I had a conversation with a moss employee about this very topic. they do
this because they want to prevent the common moron, the soon to be dpo, from
just adding dot 5 to their system without cleansing it first. there is,
according to him, no reason not to use dot 5 in these if proper procedures
are followed.
I will add my experience has been no issues in numerous vehicles using dot 5
over at least a decade of use.

Subject: Re: [TR] Changing from DOT 3 to DOT 5 Fluif
Just wanted to pass on that when I recieved my clutch master cylinder from
The
Roadster Factory, the box had a label that said "Use of synthetic hydralic
fluid will void warranty". I was fully planning on using DOT5 fluid until I
read the box. Later that week I called TRF to find out what the deal was and
the guy told me that they had a lot of warranty returns for brake parts
using
synthetic fluid and the manufacturer started placing a warning label on the
master cylinders.. I am about a month away from getting to bleeding the
brakes
and clutch and still haven't decided which way I will go.
Just sayin..
