Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL DOT 5.1 1L brake fluid delivers reliable stopping power for modern vehicles with ABS and ESP systems. This synthetic brake fluid stays fluid in extreme cold down to -40°C for quick ABS response and resists boiling over 260°C dry or 180°C wet, preventing brake fade during hard braking, towing, or track use.

It offers chemical stability to protect seals and parts, superior lubrication for smooth caliper action, and mixes safely with DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluids. Ideal for hydraulic brake systems needing DOT 5.1 specs like SAE J1704 and FMVSS 116.

When to Use / Replace?

Use RAVENOL DOT 5.1 in hot climates, mountainous drives, heavy towing, or performance driving where brakes heat up fast. Replace every 30,000-40,000 km or 2-3 years to avoid moisture buildup that lowers boiling point and causes corrosion. Shelf life is 3-5 years unopened; flush the system completely for best results during pad or rotor changes.

FAQ

• Can I mix it with other brake fluids? Yes, fully miscible with DOT 3 and DOT 4, but for peak performance, do a complete flush.
• Is it good for cold weather? Absolutely, low viscosity at -40°C ensures fast ABS activation even in freezing temps.
• How often should I change brake fluid? Every 30,000-40,000 km or 2-3 years, especially if towing or in humid areas.
