I would take it to your dealer and explain to them that you want the factory oil in it and that you feel it could be a at risk car.
According to this that is not the case...


"DOT 3 and 4 based brake fluids are hydroscopic and will absorb and hold water and still function (although the water molecules lead to rust within the brake system). These are Poly-glycol based just like glycol-based antifreeze. Silicone-based fluids are non-hydroscopic meaning that they will not absorb or mix with water."
