DOT 5 is silicone based, which is incompatible with glycol based DOT 3 and 4 fluids. If you use DOT 5, you must make sure that all lines are completely flushed of the old brake fluid. Cross contamination between the two creates a gelatinous sludge which clogs up the lines and makes brake repair a nightmare.
My personal opinion is to stick with DOT 3, or if you have a predisposition to 'high-spirited' driving use DOT 4 (higher boiling point).

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
