Most of the ways people tell haven't worked for me. DOT 5 from the military comes in colors besides purple, so you can't rely on that. I bought a bottle at NAPA last month that was lime green. I usually take a piece of clean cloth, dip it in and compare the feel of it to DOT 3 from a known source (open bottle that I have around). Silicone just feels different to me. Also, DOT 3 that's been in a system for any length of time usually has a brownish tinge to it.
