DOT 5 silicon is slippery between your fingers.
Dot 3/4/5.1 is not (dulled?)
If you have an electronic brake fluid tester (will measure the amount of water) the tester will show something (on scale or LED lights) with 3/4/5.1
and nothing if DOT5 silicon is in your master cyl. reservoir.
We prefer DOT 5 silicon in our "old" vehicles.
It´s our choice in not often used cars & bikes.
It´s used for long term storage at the military.
It´s used by Harley Davidson (doesn´t eat paint)about 30 years till Anti lock brakes became standart.
Dot 3/4/5.1 should be changed after 2 years...
