Purpose and Specifications
WOLF DOT 5.1 500 ml is a fully synthetic brake fluid that delivers reliable stopping power in modern hydraulic brake and clutch systems, including those with ABS and ESP. This budget-friendly option from WOLF resists heat buildup for fade-free braking during hard stops or heavy towing, operates smoothly from -40°C to +270°C, and protects against corrosion and leaks with full elastomer compatibility.
- High boiling point prevents vapor lock and maintains firm pedal feel even under extreme heat.
- Superior stability fights oxidation and sludge to keep your system clean longer.
- Versatile use: Perfect for brakes, clutches, power steering, or torque converters requiring DOT 5.1 specs; mixes safely with DOT 3/4.
- 500 ml bottle flushes small systems or tops off larger ones efficiently.
When to Use / Replace?
Use WOLF DOT 5.1 for demanding driving like track days, towing, or hot climates where standard fluids fail. Replace every 2 years or 40,000 km to avoid moisture absorption that lowers performance—brake fluid is hygroscopic and degrades over time. Shelf life is typically 3-5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
