Re: [Chrysler300] Dot 4 mixed with Dot 5 Silicone

You must flush it as I do know that mixing sets up a very undesirable 
chemical reaction.  I have read this somewhere(I think on one of my 
motorcycle forums). With what to flush, I do not know.  Probably depends 
what you wish to end up with.  May be require a lot of flushing to clean out 
all residue from wheel cylinders.  Some may suggest that they need to be 
disassembled but I doubt that you must go that far.  A pressure bleeding 
system would be  great.  I purchased one a couple of years ago that has an 
adapter to fit my B and my  other cars.  A flushing every 2 or 3 years is a 
good idea anyway so this will give you a good excuse to do it now.
