I changed from Dot 3 to Dot 5 about a year ago on a pretty fresh brake system.
I flushed the Dot 3 out with copious amounts of alcohol, then blew out the
alcohol and ran air for a while to dry things out.  Dot 5 went into an empty
system.  It was a very clean system to begin with, and I've seen no ill
effects on seals.
