Formulated with exceptionally high dry and wet boiling points, this fluid provides maximum resistance to vapor lock and brake fade under extreme thermal loads, such as track riding or heavy adventure touring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eCrucially, DOT 5.1 features a lower viscosity than standard DOT 4 fluids. This thinner profile is specifically optimized for modern Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS), allowing the system's micro-valves to cycle rapidly and precisely across all temperature ranges. The advanced additive package protects internal metal components from corrosion while conditioning SBR and EPDM rubber seals to prevent drying and leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExtreme Boiling Points:\u003c\/b\u003e Exceeds DOT 5.1 specifications to prevent fluid boiling, ensuring a firm, consistent brake lever during aggressive use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eABS Optimized:\u003c\/b\u003e Low-viscosity formulation allows modern anti-lock braking systems and traction control systems to operate with maximum speed and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eComponent Protection:\u003c\/b\u003e Advanced anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation additives protect internal master cylinder and caliper metals from degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSeal Conditioning:\u003c\/b\u003e Lubricates and protects EPDM and SBR rubber seals, extending the lifespan of your hydraulic rebuild kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBackwards Compatible:\u003c\/b\u003e Glycol-based formula safely mixes with and replaces DOT 3 and DOT 4 fluids in existing hydraulic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eFitment Notes:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eUniversal Application:\u003c\/b\u003e Compatible with all motorcycle, dirt bike, ATV, and UTV hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch systems specifying DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWARNING - DO NOT MIX WITH DOT 5:\u003c\/b\u003e DOT 5.1 is a glycol-based fluid.

Always drape a thick protective towel over your gas tank, dash, and fairings before opening your master cylinder reservoir. If a spill occurs, do not wipe it (which smears the fluid)—immediately flush the area with copious amounts of water or contact cleaner to neutralize it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Shop at TMBR MOTO for Maxima Racing Oil powersports specific oil, lubricants cleaners and chemicals.
