I can't recall my original decision to use non-silicone fluid (something about a promise to re-bleed annually to avoid moisture buildup I expect) and to be fair the DOT3 and DOT4 fluid has done me well for at least 10 years now. But for the current maintenance it's the rust in the reservoir that's filtering down to the clutch and accelerator master cylinders that's giving me pause.
