BG DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid
sold as individual quarts
BG DOT 5.1 Brake Fluid Ultra-low Conductivity is formulated to meet or exceed the quality requirements of domestic and European automobile manufacturers. This synthetic DOT 5.1 brake fluid goes beyond the specification of regular DOT 4 to provide the ultimate in high-temperature, high-boiling-point protection for all disc and drum brake systems. It has electric-neutral formulation for ultra-low conductivity—a feature that’s especially important in hybrid and electric vehicles.
Suitable for use in conventional and anti-lock brake systems (ABS), as well as in place of other DOT 3, DOT 4, Super DOT 4, DOT 4 Plus, or DOT 5.1 brake fluids, especially found in the European market (Jaguar, Land Rover, Porsche, VW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, among others).
