dot5 in system....very sludgy....converting back?

Hey Folks,

I have had a 911 for 8 years and the previous owner converted to Dot5 so I had been following suite and all seems to be fine. I have very good pedal everyone is always impressed.....BUT!

Well after diagnosing an alignment problem with sticking front brake, I have realized that my brake system needs a rebuild. I have sludge build up everywhere, calipers and reservoir.

If I drain the reservoir and clean out the master cyclinder as well the caplier cleans am I going to be ok when converting back to non silcone based brake fluid like ATE (ie dot3/4)? Is there anything else I need to do?

or


Should I just put dot5 back in?


Thanks,

Ned
