[TR] Changing from DOT 3 to DOT 5 Fluif

nor in mine.   in several cars.   be careful how  you pour it in - I like to 
use a long funnel with its bottom below surface level.  be careful not to 
create bubbles as you add it and you will be fine.

Not true in my experience.

Are you thinking of going to silicone brake fluid?  It is very popular,
especially where a car isn't driven a lot.  However, the old english
manufacturers still warn against using it due to how it 'effects" the rubber
parts.  I have used it for years without a problem.  If you try to use it in
your clutch cylinders, from my experience you will find it very hard to
bleed
and get the air out.
