Yes but would not mix dots , not as aggresive but would not leave it on paintwork , thats my opinion :roll:

5 is silicone and not compatible with other DOT numbers.

In a new system that has never had other DOT fluids in it it may be OK if the system was designed for it!

It does not harm paintwork.
