Note the cylnder cap wording refers to using only dot 3+5 fluid from a sealed container. Well you can't mix dot 3 and dot 5 as the latter is a mineral oil and doesn't mix with dot 3.

You could use dot 5 if all the brake components were new . I wonder if this is what Ducati or Brembo were thinking when making the set-up but I doubt it and I think it's just an error. Later caps just refer to using dot 4.
There was a post about this on the Ducati Sporting Club forum way back.
