Good choice Bruce. Silicone fluid is not hygroscopic so will not hold moisture in suspension. What it will do though is separate out moisture and let it settle on the bottom of the cylinder pitting it worse. Silicone will hold air bubbles and they do not compress well, hence it is sometimes hard to get an adequate pedal. At the garage we will not put silicone in a system we have overhauled. I can put a guarantee on a Dot 3 system. For the antique seldom used vehicles we often work on we suggest bleeding the system each spring. This is an easy one man job with one of the vacuum bleeders and $3.00 worth of fluid.

Just my .02 CDN

Cheers,
Barry
