User questions & answers

Question:	Does this contain silicone
Answer:	No. Silicone brake fluid is designated "DOT 5" and cannot EVER be mixed with any other type of brake fluid. This is regular DOT 3 brake fluid that is used in many passenger car and light truck applications. Check your owner's manual for your car's specific requirement. It may be DOT 4, in which case this is not the correct choice either.
Question:	Is this good for 1998 chevy cavalier
Answer:	Yes, just the very latest models use dot 4. Dot 3 is what you should use, and synthetic is best
Question:	can synthetic and non-synthetic be mixed
Answer:	Pretty much all brake fluid is synthetic, regardless of the label. Yes they can be mixed. Just don't mix with DOT5.
Question:	Could i use prestone brake fluid dot 3 for my toyota avalon 04 & highlander 05? thanks
Answer:	Of course you can, if you have no other choice. It will not cause any catastrophe failure or internal damage, under standard everyday breaking. However, it is highly recommended to use at least a DOT 4. It has a 30 to 50 degree higher boiling point. Toyota's breaking system is very efficient, and may not ever reach those high temperatures, unless you're in a prolonged, heavy breaking situation, like riding the break down a long, steep grade. Then you'll wish you went with higher grade fluid. It just depends on how lucky you're feeling.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this on 2016 ford focus st
Answer:	It is what I am using. My ST is set up with 2 pc 350mm rotors, RS Brembos, and Velossatech cooling ducts, among other things.
Question:	Can i use this on a 2004 Nissan 350z Clutch Fluid
Answer:	Sure you can use this fluid in the 350z application, but do you really need the high temperature properties and higher cost of this fluid in your particular application. Is this a dedicated race car? If not, certainly a DOT3 fluid would work fine as well. The key is to change the fluid frequently (like every 12 months) to keep the higher fluid boiling properties with fresh DOT3 type fluid.
Question:	is this brake fluid okay to use for regular everyday driving, no racing
Answer:	Absolutely. I use it in my 350Z in the clutch system as the piping is near the exhaust and pedal gets squishy in very hot weather. Also it is mixable with regular brake fluid although that would be a waste to me. Solved my problem.
Question:	Does this motul dot 4 have a higher boiling points than regular dot 4? is this a mid way between hygroscopic and silicone
Answer:	This stuff is very hygroscopic, so you will need to change it more often. I do mine twice a year. This is not silicone based. And it also has a much higher dry and wet boiling point than your standard OEM DOT 4's. This stuff is meant for racing. I get a lot less brake fade with this fluid.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on a forklift? it asks for sae j1703f, dot 3 or dot 4 specifications
Answer:	Yes , it exceeds all dot 3=4 specs More expensive, why not stay with dot 3
Question:	it can be use for bicycle
Answer:	I’m assuming you need this for SRAM brakes? Dot 3 is dot 3, doesn’t matter which type of machine it’s going into. Read the spec of your bicycle brake fluid or don’t touch your bike
Question:	being DOT 5 compatible , has any silicone
Answer:	THIS IS NOT DOT 5 COMPATIBLE! It is important never to mistake DOT 5.1 (glycol-based) with DOT 5 which is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other DOT fluid. This is compatible with everything EXCEPT DOT 5. Do not mix with DOT 5 ! What is the Difference between DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid? DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids and are used widely in the automotive and cycle industry. They are controlled by standards set out by the Department of Transportation (DOT) - hence the name. The main difference between these two brake fluids is in their boiling points. Part of the standards that need to be met by the manufacturers of DOT fluids are the minimum dry and wet boiling points. These are the minimum temperatures that the brake fluid must perform at before the brake fluid starts to boil, which can lead to complete brake failure. Let's take a look at the minimum boiling temperatures of DOT brake fluid as specified by the Department of Transportation. Various boiling temperatures for DOT brake fluid Remember, these are only the minimum standards. Brake fluid manufacturers can and often do improve on these figures and it is possible to find DOT 4 brake fluid with a higher boiling point than some DOT 5.1 fluids on the market. Since DOT 4 and 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids they are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. It is important never to mistake DOT 5.1 (glycol-based) with DOT 5 which is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other DOT fluid.
