Hey Dan,
 How often do you drag race down mountains,pull trailers down
mountains,ect down mountains?The only reason to got the the Dot 5 silicon
is to raise the boiling point of the brake fluid.The pedal will be softer
with the Dot5.I know this from motorcycle use, first hand feel.Flush the
system,put on your new M/c>
