Motul Brake Fluid Dot 5.1 (4 Pack) - 500 ml

Type of Use

This product is suitable for all hydraulic brake and clutch systems that comply with the manufacturers' recommendations for DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 specifications. Specifically formulated for anti-locking brake systems (ABS), this brake fluid offers superior performance.

Performance Standards

The brake fluid meets the following performance standards: - FMVSS 116 - DOT 5.1 (Non-Silicone Based) - DOT 4 - DOT 3 - SAE J 1703 - ISO 4925 (5.1, 4 & 3)

Long Life Fluid

Boasting a high wet boiling point of 187°C (369°F), this brake fluid exceeds the minimum requirements for DOT 4 (155°C / 311°F) and DOT 3 (140°C / 284°F). The extended boiling point allows for prolonged usage. Notably, DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 fluids have the property of absorbing moisture present in the air, which subsequently decreases their boiling points and reduces safety margins. The wet boiling point reflects the fluid's condition after one year of use, emphasizing its performance reliability.

Specialized for Anti-locking Brake Systems

This brake fluid has a lower viscosity of 820 centipoises at -40°C (-40°F), allowing for optimal fluid circulation in the micro-valves of ABS systems. In comparison, DOT 4 fluids can reach up to 1800 centipoises, and DOT 3 can reach up to 1500 centipoises. This lower viscosity ensures smoother operation within the braking system. Additionally, the fluid is neutral concerning the seals typically found in braking systems and offers anti-corrosive properties.

Recommendations

This brake fluid is compatible with DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 (Non-Silicone Based) products and should not be mixed with silicone-based fluids (DOT 5) or mineral-based fluids (LHM). For optimal performance, store the brake fluid in its original container, ensuring it is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Please note that this fluid is a chemically aggressive product; avoid contact with skin, paint, or varnish. If contact occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. The recommended drain interval for this brake fluid is between 12 to 24 months, as per manufacturers’ guidelines.
