When I first started seriously thinking about DoT-5, I mixed a few cc's of DoT-
5 with a few cc's of DoT-4 in a small bottle. I still have that bottle, and the 
two fluids are still fine. They mix up to form a kind of slurry if I shake the 
bottle, just like vinegar and oil, but they settle out in an hour or so. The 
silicone is lighter, so it floats to the top.

That was in 1978, 27 years ago.
