DOT 5 from our experience will attack stock brake component rubber. Haven't tried it with new seals and master update on stock caliper rebuilds. Our brake system upgrade does take advantage of DOT 5.

I can't speak to silicone "5" as in literally "DOT 5 FULL STOP", but DOT 5.1 "five dot one" is compatible on paper with 3 & 4.
I feel like calling it 5.1 makes it the "jar of brown M&M's" of the brake world - It exists just to find out who is paying attention. Whoever decided on this nomenclature deserves a few slaps.
Motul 5.1 is a street car formula and specs out better than any 3 or 4, including GTLMA. I might bleed a little off this summer just to check color but I put about 1600 miles on it in a variety of conditions and don't anticipate any issues. I also don't believe the "only GTLMA or you'll destroy the tender all-natural rubber seals" myth. I've ran a few non-GTLMA fluids over the years without issue.
I also want to reiterate than the redstuff vs yellowstuff description posted in this thread directly contradicts EBC's own literature. I'm sure yellowstuff is better than OEM or OEM-like but redstuff is almost certainly a better pad formula for most drivers. Redstuff is for street and Yellowstuff is for track/street.

This week- For taxation reasons it needed a legal name (as well as a trading name - "DeLorean Go"), and sometimes it's nice to have a name with a level of anonymity when dealing with some suppliers so they don't hike the prices up
