PLEASE NOTE POSTAGE IS HIGH BECAUSE ONLY ROYAL MAIL MAIL WILL CARRY THIS ITEM
1/2 litre bottle of TRW brand Brake fluid DOT 5.1.
DOT 5.1 has a wet boiling point of 375 degrees.
Better yet, DOT 5.1 is half as viscous as DOT 4.
DOT 5.1 provides quicker lever response, better modulation and faster pad retraction.
It can be mixed with DOT 3.0 and DOT 4.0 but NOT DOT 5.0
Here are dry Boil(zero water) and wet (3%water) Boil points
Fluid Spec..... Dry Boil point......... Wet boil Point
DOT 3.0..................401F.....................284 F
DOT 4.0..................446F....................311F
DOT 5.0..................500F....................356F....This is SILICONE FLUID DO NOT MIX
DOT 5.1..................518F....................375F
So for safer braking especially when your car is used in mountainous areas and in Europe use 5.1 the most up to date and safest Fluid.
Better pedal feel than Silicone where already present compressibility increases with heat.
