brake fluid (DOT 5)

Kevin Lang · 07-11-2009, 07:23 AM

Just finishing brake system on my stocker build and wondering if anyone has used DOT 5 silicone brake fluid before. It has a boiling point of 550 deg. and does not harm painted surfaces so I am told. Hurst lineloc instructions call for DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Standard DOT 3 has boiling point of 287 deg. Thanks for any help!!!!!.............. ps. Leave on the last yellow or get a pillow and blanket!
