I'm curious about that as well. I have never even heard of anyone going from DOT 5 to DOT 3/4. Just performing a "good flush" ain't gonna do it.

That's because it is not suggested and is not considered safe. You cannot remove all the Silicone fluid. At the very least, I would talk to a specialist as well as flush out the system a few times.
Among the issues are that seals suitable for silicone are thought to be incompatable with DOT 3,4 systems.
