Don't confuse DOT 5 ( silicone) with other versons of DOT 5 ( would that be 5.1 ?) that is ester-boron based ( also ??)...and that one IS compatible with DOT 3 and 4.

Simplest and safest answer is DOT 5 silicone should not be mixed..as stated here.

EDIT...beepbeep..you mean DOT 5 ( silicone) is not hygroscopic ( not hydroscopic)...yes..it won't absorb water, but it has an affinity for air bubbles that are hard to purge.
