Description

Recommended for use in all cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles which require a DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. It has a super-high boiling point to keep brakes sharp and fade-free and will perform well on the longest, nastiest of Alpine descents. SILICONE BRAKE FLUID is non-toxic and non-corrosive and will not damage automotive painted surfaces, hoses, seals or other materials. DOT 4LV low viscosity brake fluid is a very high specification brake and clutch fluid, exhibiting exceptional viscosity performance even at low temperatures (max. But while we're on the subject let's take a look at which way the various brake manufacturers lean when it comes to brake fluid choice.

is fundamentally different than the rest of the DOT fluid range in that it is silicone based brake fluid. I'll explore these brake fluids in detail, sum up their advantages and disadvantages and explain why the experts believe their choice of fluid is best for us riders. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Let's remember that the Department of Transportation specify the minimum wet boiling point of DOT brake fluids after absorbing only 3. Where an item is marked as "Available" it means that it is available from one of the warehouses, not necessarily in the UK.

In any case, one thing to remember at all times when considering swapping out your Shimano or Magura proprietary Mineral Oil is that you may void the brake's warranty in the process. Castrol recommends that DOT fluid in previously opened containers should be discarded after 12 months.

Both very different in their make-up, and with their own set of characteristics but ultimately performing the same role. Recommended for use in the hydraulic brake and clutch systems of all cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles for which non-petroleum based fluid is specified.

However, none of these cars was a Mini, and although I have had 3 Minis and must have flushed and bled the brake systems many times, including full seal and hose replacements on 2 of them, and never had the slightest difficulty in bleeding any of them, there are many sad tales on this forum of people who can't get them to bleed (may depend on brake system configuration), and for that reason I would suggest that the use of DOT 5 in a Mini is strictly for experts, or those with a reliable method, such as a suction bleeder, of getting the air out. It was all rubbish, the Dot 5 was easier to bleed (and I had no concerns about damage from spillages as it doesn't damage paint).

are fully compatible with each other and can be readily mixed or swapped without adversely affecting the brake's performance or its characteristics. Automec’s performance silicone DOT 5 brake fluid repels moisture so, unlike standard polyglycol brake fluid, it never needs changing.

The brake fluid also has to resist, as far as possible, the high temperatures created by the braking forces.

Have no reason to believe this won't be as good only time will tell but purchased as Putoline is a known reputable manufacturer. Most of you will know that hydraulic brakes are designed to use one of two main types of brake fluid - DOT fluid or Mineral Oil, and which one you pick is not a choice made by you or me, but rather by the brake manufacturers themselves. DOT 4 brake fluid is a high quality brake fluid recommended for use in the hydraulic brake and clutch systems of all cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles for which a glycol based DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid is specified. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.As it turned out, the only old bits of the original braking system left were a handful of non-corroded hard pipes and the master cylinder.
