I had read that Dot 5.0 brake fluid was silicone based and as such is not compatible with our ABS equipment. I know that silicone based brake fluid is more moisture resistant. Higher numbers (5.1 & 5.2) were ok. Has any one else heard this, any comments? The most frequently recommended fluid is (no flames please) Ford Blue brake fluid.
