NAPA DOT 5.1 brake and clutch fluid in a 5 litre can, sized for workshops and anyone flushing several cars. DOT 5.1 is a glycol based fluid with a higher boiling point than standard DOT 4, and NAPA list FMVSS 116 DOT 5.1, DOT 4 and DOT 3, SAE J 1703 and J 1704, and ISO 4925 on this one.

Good to know

• Which cars take DOT 5.1? Those whose reservoir cap or handbook names DOT 5.1, and cars with hard used brakes where the owner wants a higher boiling point; it can usually replace DOT 3 or DOT 4, but check the handbook first.
• How do I keep a 5 litre can in good condition? Close it tightly after every pour and store it somewhere dry; brake fluid takes in moisture from the air, so old, opened fluid shouldn't go into a brake system.
• Can it go in a car that has silicone DOT 5? No, never: DOT 5 is silicone based and doesn't mix with glycol fluids like this one. A change from DOT 5 needs a full system strip and clean.

Which one?

For a DOT 4 ESP fluid from NAPA, NAPA DOT 4 Brake Fluid Esp (NBF4005); the Apec DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid (ABF5005) is the other DOT 5.1 we list.
