Ferodo Brake Fluid DOT 5.1 FBZ025 - 250ml

DOT 5.1 brake fluid, a synthetic, glycol-based fluid, is used in hydraulic brake and clutch systems, particularly those requiring high performance and where low conductivity is essential, such as in ABS and high-performance vehicles.

DOT 5.1 brake fluid is designed for use in modern and older vehicles, providing a high level of brake and clutch performance, especially in demanding conditions.

Compatibility:
It's compatible with and can replace or top up systems using DOT 4 and DOT 3 fluids.

Boiling Point:
DOT 5.1 has a high boiling point, both dry and wet, which is crucial for preventing brake fade under extreme conditions.

Applications:
It's suitable for a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, 4WDs, motorcycles, and commercial vehicles.

ABS Compatibility:
DOT 5.1 is particularly well-suited for anti-locking brake systems (ABS) due to its low viscosity and high boiling point, ensuring consistent ABS performance, especially in cold climates.

Corrosion Protection:
DOT 5.1 contains inhibitors to prevent corrosion of metallic brake components and to reduce oxidation at increased temperatures.

Not to be confused with DOT 5: DOT 5.1 is a glycol-based fluid, while DOT 5 is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other DOT fluid.
