The other thing about silicone is in cold climates the water can freeze. And tired Dot 3 has a chemcal and PH change that really tears up rubber parts. (hence it often turns black and contains particulate rubber.) If you have a Powermaster, it also attacks the seal in the pressure vessel and causes loss of nitrogen charge. Motto, brake fluid is so relatively inexpensive, change it often. If you get it on paint, water is the anecdote.
