Re: Flushing/changing brake fluid

Dot 5 does in fact does have a different feel in the pedal and almost always feels a little mushy. It is also prone to 'seepage' due to the difference in viscosity. However, I feel the benefits of silicone not harming paint and not holding moisture far outweighs the cons and have used it on all my restored cars since the 80's with only one complaint.
