There were some compatibility problems with the early silicone brake fluids, I believe the change date was in the mid to later 80's. Any fluid with batch dates in the 90s and later will work fine. It is unfortunate that silicone earned a bad rap early in it's history, and it is a tough stigma to shake.
In the mid 80's the Cdn military started touting it as the revolution in brake systems, and within a month or two we had quarantined all the assets, and had to do tests on vehicles to find out if they had the SBF in them. Of course, since the army buys the stuff a million gallons at a time, the jugs of old stuff can still be found, and problems still occur from them.
