<div dir="ltr">The best selling point for Dot 4 is you can mix any
Dot 4 or even Dot 3 if you need to fill up. As I understand it
with Dot 5 you should be careful to always use the same brand to
fill up if necessary.<br>
<br>
Also, neither Dot 5 not Dot 4 is great for sitting a long time,
Dot 4 absorbs water, Dot 5 will push any water down into the
components.<br>
<br>
Dot 4, if the car is not used regularly, needs to be flushed
every couple of years.<br>

<div>At this point in the restoration I have a completely
rebuilt brake system with all new components and tubing.
Now is the time to make the decision to use DOT 4 or
Silicone. What's the consensus, if there is one?</div>
