Bel-Ray Silicone DOT 5 Brake Fluid: Superior Protection for Demanding Braking Systems

Experience peak braking performance and long-lasting reliability with Bel-Ray Silicone DOT 5 Brake Fluid. Engineered to exceed stringent FMVSS Sec. 571.116 DOT 5 specifications, this advanced formula delivers exceptional safety margins for automotive enthusiasts, classic car restorers, and riders in high-humidity regions.

Why Choose Silicone DOT 5?

• Moisture Resistance: Unlike glycol-based fluids (DOT 3/DOT 4), silicone DOT 5 won’t absorb water from the atmosphere. This prevents internal corrosion, maintains consistent viscosity, and drastically reduces the risk of dangerous vapor lock during intense braking or in hot climates.
• Paint Safe: Spills won’t damage your vehicle’s paintwork – a critical advantage during maintenance or repairs.
• High-Temperature Stability: Boasts an exceptional dry boiling point of 260°C (500°F) and a wet boiling point of 185°C (365°F), ensuring reliable performance under heavy loads, repeated hard stops, or demanding conditions like motorsports or mountain driving.
• Compatibility: Mixes seamlessly with other genuine DOT 5 fluids (check specifications). Crucially, it is NOT compatible with DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluids. A complete system flush is mandatory when upgrading to DOT 5 from these types.

Ideal For:

• All hydraulic disc or drum brake systems requiring DOT 5 fluid.
• Hydraulic clutch systems (excluding those designed for mineral-based fluids like LHM).
• Classic cars requiring long-term fluid stability.
• Vehicles stored for extended periods.
• High-performance applications where consistent brake feel is critical.
• Environments prone to high moisture levels.
