Product Information

Pure silicone brake fluid will essentially eliminate brake system wear and corrosion for at least 70,000 miles with service periods in excess of 100,000 miles being feasible. If you are worried about brake temperature, and the risk of sudden failure caused by boiling fluid, upgrade to DOT 5. This makes it ideal for collector cars that are not driven frequently or for whom the brake rebuild parts (wheel and master cylinders) are hard to come by or expensive.

However, when water accumulates in the brake system over time, and it is not absorbed by the brake fluid, in theory it could create pockets of water which could boil in extreme circumstances. DOT 5 Silicone Brake Fluid will essentially eliminate brake system wear and corrosion for at least 70,000 miles with service periods in excess of 100,000 miles being feasible. The brake fluid also has to resist, as far as possible, the high temperatures created by the braking forces.

SILICONE BRAKE FLUID is recommended for re-fill or top-up of brake and clutch systems in all vehicles and equipment that specify a DOT 5 Silicone fluid. The shelf life of glycol-based DOT brake fluid is very poor due to its hygroscopic properties, which is why every bottle should come with an air tight foil liner covering the opening. Vehicles currently using DOT 3 and 4 fluids can be changed over easily by flushing through with new DOT 5 fluid.
