Lines and seals could fall apart! ... Dot 5 requires special calipers and such. aso DOT 5 does not last as long.
as far as exchanging the fluid, just make sure the cylinder stays full. You will probably need someone to help you bleed them also.
Or get ahold of a pressure bleeder and go at it. If you have ABS, look in the manual to figure that one out.
