Convert to DOT 5.1 brake fluid
Anyone change (or think of changing) from DOT 3 or 4 fluid to DOT 5.1 fluid? Been doing some reading and the reports suggest that DOT 5.1 is a solid upgrade, can mix with DOT 3 or 4, and it'* lifespan is 2 to 3 times that of DOT 3,

Dot 5 is silicone and is not compatible with DOT 3, 4 or 5.1
DOT 5.1 is compatible with DOT 3 &4. I have checked Wal-Mart and AutoZOne- neither stock DOT 5.1.
