ApprovalsFMVSS 116 DOT 3/DOT 4/DOT 5.1, SAE J1703/1704, ISO 4925 Class 5.1
Pack Sizes1L, 5L, 20L, 60L, 200L

Questions & answers

What is this brake fluid best for?

High-performance driving, track use, or towing, where maximum boiling-point headroom reduces the risk of brake fade under sustained hard braking.

Is DOT 5.1 the same as DOT 5?

No, and this is a common point of confusion — DOT 5 is silicone-based and not glycol-compatible, while DOT 5.1 is glycol-based like standard DOT 3/4 fluids, just with a higher boiling point. This product is fully backwards-compatible with DOT 3/4 systems.

Can it be mixed with a standard DOT 4 fluid already in the system?

Yes — being glycol-based and fully synthetic, it's miscible with other fully synthetic brake fluids including standard DOT 4, though topping up rather than mixing during a full fluid change is generally best practice.
