Purpose and Specifications

Keep your brakes reliable under extreme heat with Febi Bilstein 180585 DOT 5.1 brake fluid. This premium synthetic fluid resists boiling up to 274°C dry and 184°C wet, preventing dangerous vapor lock during hard stops or track days. It protects calipers and lines from corrosion, flows smoothly in cold weather down to -40°C, and meets top standards like FMVSS 116 DOT 5.1, ISO 4925 Classes 3-6, SAE J1703/1704 for perfect compatibility with European and Asian vehicles.

• 0.25L bottle with 0.296kg weight - ideal for clutch or partial flushes
• Low viscosity ensures quick, responsive braking even in freezing temps
• Corrosion inhibitors extend seal and component life

When to Use / Replace?

Flush brakes every 2 years or 40,000 km to avoid moisture buildup that drops performance. Replace immediately if fluid looks dark, contaminated, or if braking feels spongy. Safe for high-heat driving over 150°C, like towing or mountains. Shelf life: 3-5 years sealed. Mixes with other DOT 5.1 fluids but fully flush DOT 3/4 systems first.
