HOTSHOT III 2 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Excellent thread, i'm looking at buying a 4Mo and this has been very useful One thing worth mentioning though, you should never mix DOT 4 and DOT 5 fluid due to DOT 5 being silicone based. According to Wikipedia: DOT 5 is one of several North American designations of automotive hydraulic brake fluid, denoting a particular mixture of chemicals imparting specified ranges of boiling point. DOT 5 is a silicone-based brake fluid (contains at least 70% by weight of a diorgano polysiloxane[1]). Unlike polyethylene glycol based fluids, Dot 5 is hydrophobic.[2] An advantage over other forms of brake fluid is that silicone has a more stable viscosity index over a wider temperature range. Another property is that it does not damage paint.[citation needed] Using DOT 5 in a DOT 3 or DOT 4 system without proper flushing will cause damage to the seals and cause brake failure.[citation needed] DOT 5 brake fluid is not compatible with anti-lock brake systems. DOT 5 brake fluid absorbs a small amount of air requiring care when bleeding the system of air.[citation needed] Boiling points[edit] Minimal boiling points for these specifications are as follows (wet boiling point defined as 3.7% water by volume): Boiling point ranges [3] Dry boiling point Wet boiling point DOT 3 205 °C (401 °F) 140 °C (284 °F) DOT 4 230 °C (446 °F) 155 °C (311 °F) DOT 5 260 °C (500 °F) 180 °C (356 °F) DOT 5.1 260 °C (500 °F) 180 °C (356 °F) Edited June 19, 2016 by HOTSHOT III Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
