I'm using Dot 5 (silicone) because, despite the very slight temperature related performance reduction, it:1. Does not absorb moisture at all. I contacted Penrite to ask about recommended change intervals - they said they could not advise one as it should not degrade over time. Mine's been in for 4 years and still looks clear as a bell.2. Will not corrode internal brake parts or damage paintwork, etc in case of spillage.For road riding I believe silicone is a very clear winner over glycol (Dot 3, 4 & 5.1)!!CheersEdit: I know change-out is a PITA with all the disassembly and cleaning - but based on what I now know I would not hesitate to change. It's a no-brainer for new installations such as [USER=1806]@Torontonian[/USER]
