A word of support for DOT 5 silicone brake fluid. You will find some negativity around its use on the internet but my personal experience of it is all positive. If I had a brand new brake system ( lines, seals etc. ) I would use it over DOT 5.1 or 4 , not least because I invariably manage to get brake fluid everywhere when changing it .

Yes it is purple and costs about the same as other brake fluids although you do have to try harder to buy it.
