did you drain and flush your system? DOT5 does not displace water very well. It has to be flushed and replaced every so often.
do yourself a favor and buy a vacuum pump kit at autozone for bleeding the brakes.

my 06 came with dot5 on the front and dot4 in the rear. your fluid should of been replaced at least once by now. Do you know what they put in it? If not, I would completely flush and fill with dot5.
