I had found a site and posted its link here back in September with a well written article about brake fluid compatibility, particularly in retrofitting silicone into older brake systems. Unfortunately, I just checked it and its disabled. The short of it was that there are significant compatibility issues, mostly with rubber components, and unless your are changing everything to new, stick with the fluid type you are now using. Even using new, there is still possible problems with some manufacture's components that weren't designed for silicone. I use good old Castrol LMA.
