Motul 5.1 brake fluid

I bled my brakes with Motul 5.1 fluid, but i couldn't get the front bleeders free, so I only bled the rear. Does 5.1 mix with dot 3 or 4??

Thanks

DOT5 is nothing like DOT5.1. DOT5 is silicon and DOT5.1 was designed to have similar qualities as silicon without the sponginess.

DOT5.1 will mix with DOT3 and DOT4. DOT5 will not.
