    Some applications require silicone fluid. They can't be mixed.

    In regards to specifically brake fluid, there are several generations, ranging from DOT1, and i think we are up to DOT4 now... Your master cylinders reservoir should say what kind of DOT brake fluid to use, if not, you have a pretty safe bet with DOT3.
