I think more advanced drivers could justify the potential voiding of warranty coverage - but at my level (novice to intermediate) Super DOT 4 is more than sufficient...
Note SRF is not silicon based. Silicon based is DOT 5.1 IIRC

SRF does not void any warranty, besides, I would love to see anyone visually distinguish OEM fluids from SRF
Good to know - dealership using scare tactics? :
