Description
DOT 5.1 by Motul is a 100% synthetic, non-silicone-based braking fluid that is specially designed for anti-locking brake systems (ABS). DOT 5.1 is similar to DOT 3 and DOT 4 and works in the same systems, but improves upon their formula.
The viscosity (820 centipoises at -40C / -40F) is lower than DOT 4 (up to 1800 cp) and DOT 3 (up to 1500 cp) brake fluids, which allows for an easier fluid circulation in micro-valves of anti-locking systems. It is perfectly neutral with seals used in braking systems. The high wet boiling point for DOT 5.1 is 187C / 369F, which gives this product a longer service life. Its typical dry boiling point is 272C / 522 F.
Note: Mixable with DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 NON SILICONE BASE products.; Do not mix with silicone (DOT 5 silicone base) or mineral base fluids (LHM).
