I had someone tell me that the DOT 5 brake fluid recommended by the 

Velocity is not compatible with aircraft o-rings and that I should be 

using aviation brake fluid. I also read yesterday that the Matco folks 

indicated that DOT 5 should not be used?

 

So: To "DOT 5" or NOT?

 

The reference in the MATCO documentation is on page 28 of this document:

Gary;

 

I think the distinction there is DOT 5; not DOT 5.1 which is what is
referenced as NOT to be used.  I've been led to believe that DOT 5 is an
"equivalent" to MS 5606.
