Which Brake Fluid is BEST for Your Vehicle: DOT 3, 4, 5 and 5.1 Explained | The Engineer's Mess

[@robertrosicki9290]

As a motorcycle enthusiast I'm familiar with this interesting side note ... DOT5 brake fluid does not strip paint like DOT 3&4 .

Good info, I actually didn't know DOT4 needs to be switched out more often or that DOT5/silicon is more compressible - Spongy.

Good video it was very informative.

This video has VERY basic info - if you drive a car that's newer and/or has performance parts, you need to be VERY careful to get the right fluid for your car. For example, I drive a 2013 Ford Explorer Sport which requires Dot 4 LV (which means low viscosity) BUT when you read the footnote in the owners manual it also says that it must meet or exceed the "WSS-M6C65-A2" AND "ISO 4925 Class 6" standards and that failure to do so may result in permanent damage to your braking system. You can google those standards for more information and to ensure you understand what to look for. Bottom line is - not all Dot 4 fluids are the same. Failure to get the right fluid for your brakes can cause brake failure and/or damage to your entire braking system SO be sure to review your cars owner's manual. DO NOT TRUST that the shop has the right info. Make sure they're getting the right fluid for your vehicle.
