Where an item is marked as "Available" it means that it is available from one of the warehouses, not necessarily in the UK. This makes it easy to identify and saves you from making the fatal mistake of introducing the wrong fluid and destroying your brake's internal seals.

Whereas the Wet Boiling Point is defined as the temperature DOT brake fluid will begin to boil after it has absorbed 3. It is also more compressible than the other DOT brake fluids which can lead to a sluggish or spongy brake lever (or pedal) feel, and therefore requires special design considerations when used in brake systems. Made in the USA and used exclusively by the US military in their light vehicles, silicone brake fluid conforms to the US DOT5 standard. You will usually find the type of fluid your brake was designed to use printed somewhere on the lever assembly or reservoir top cap.Royal Mail deliveries are sent using the most appropriate service based on the value, size and weight of the parcel. You've heard the evidence, now it's time to choose your overall winner using the poll and telling us why in the comments below.

This is caused by the intense heat created after prolonged, heavy brake use and has an adverse effect on the performance of the entire brake system. Let's take a look at the minimum boiling temperatures of DOT brake fluid as specified by the Department of Transportation. DOT brake fluid is required to meet strict standards and specifications set out by the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Department of Transportation (DOT) - hence the name. EBC Brakes Racing proudly manufactures its 2-piece brake rotors and Apollo Series brake calipers in our Northampton, UK world headquarters.DOT 5 silicone is non-aggressive for painted surfaces, plastics and has anti-corrosive characteristics, is non-hygroscopic and will therefore not absorb water. It will also not damage your paintwork if spilled and will not easily catch fire in the event of an accident. Here you can see that silicone based DOT 5 is the odd one out and is not compatible with any other DOT brake fluid. But while we're on the subject let's take a look at which way the various brake manufacturers lean when it comes to brake fluid choice. This water content finds its way into the brake fluid via microscopic pores in brake hoses, seals, joints and seams.

EBC Brakes Racing would like to emphasise that we put as much effort into development of our rotor metallurgy as what we put into development of our pad friction materials. Glycol-based fluids consist of a mixture of ingredients with as many as ten separate substances making up the final product. Glycol based fluids are hygroscopic which means they absorb water/moisture from the environment at normal atmospheric pressures at a rate of 2-3% per year. Our BF307+ high performance Super DOT 4 brake fluid has been specially formulated to provide outstanding performance for braking systems routinely operated at extreme temperatures making this fluid ideal for fast street use, track days and racing. They are controlled by standards set out by the Department of Transportation (DOT) - hence the name.Recommended for use in the hydraulic brake and clutch systems of all cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles for which non-petroleum based fluid is specified.
