DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid (250ml) - Liqui Moly 20158

Product Information

Brake fluid is essentially hydraulic fluid which meets the standards set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the Department of Transportation (DOT). There are three main categories of brake fluid: DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5. DOT 3 and 4 are polyglycol based while DOT 5 is synthetic brake fluid. Glycol based fluids are hygroscopic which is a benefit as the fluid absorbs any water which prevents water droplets from forming in the fluid. By absorbing the water, this in turn prevents water from collecting which could either boil, freeze or corrode components. Changing the brake fluid in your vehicle routinely will reduce the chances of boiling brake fluid which could lead to brake fade or loss of brake operation altogether.

• High moisture content causing low boiling point
• Dirty or tarnished color
• Boiling over of the brake system under extreme braking conditions

About Liqui Moly

All LIQUI MOLY products are created by close solidarity with the automotive, two-wheel and commercial vehicle industry. That's why Liqui Moly solutions are always on par with state-of-the-art technologies and sometimes even a good distance ahead. The recipes for LIQUI MOLY high-tech products are largely based on our own developments, that we continuously test and develop. The LIQUI MOLY full range, with more than 4,000 products, offers you lubricants, additives, car care products and chemical repair tools with integrated use guarantee.

LIQUI MOLY offers the matching motor oil for every vehicle in the world. Liqui Moly engine oils have a variety of approvals by German and overseas car manufacturers or fulfill the requirements of the producers. And, even here, there are still differences: A manufacturer approval means that the oil fulfills certain minimum requirements. But LIQUI MOLY goes beyond those requirements and develop oils that, for example, have a higher cleaning performance than what is required by the manufacturer.

Every mile driven costs a tiny bit of engine longevity. The reason: Friction and wear. A creeping process, that is often accelerated by poor fuel quality and deposits of old lubricants. However, regular maintenance of the oil and fuel circuit can usually restore engine performance to its original level. Without much effort, but with a great deal of effect. When it comes to gear oil a similar thing can be said.

The fact that LIQUI MOLY products shine, and, with a high level of innovation, deliver what they promise, is confirmed again and again by independent testing institutions, in which we regularly pass with flying colors. Approvals by the automotive industry and the fulfilling of the highest specifications are also a matter of course.
