As I mentioned, the disadvantages of silicone aren't as severe in lower 
pressure clutch hydraulics system, so as long as you've spent the money and it 
doesn't leak, I'd suggest continuing until a problem surfaces. Then you can 
drain and flush with cheaper DOT-3 or DOT-4 mineral spirits. As you say, 
don't mix the two fluids. Good luck- J Deryke
