Product Information

Synthetic brake fluid based on glycol ethers, alkyl polyglycols and polyglycol esters. It contains inhibitors to prevent the corrosion of metallic brake components and to reduce oxidation at increased temperatures. The brake fluid enjoys excellent wet and dry boiling points, thus guaranteeing safe braking even after the absorption of some moisture over an extended period of use. Special moisture scavengers help to minimize the formation of steam bubbles.

Exceptionally well-suited for use with all disc and drum brake systems, as well as vehicle clutch systems for which a synthetic brake fluid of DOT 5.1 specification is required. The brake fluid is also suitable for use in ABS brake systems.

APPROVALS:

  • FMVSS 116 DOT 3
  • FMVSS 116 DOT 4
  • FMVSS 116 DOT 5.1
  • ISO 4925 Class 3
  • ISO 4925 Class 4
  • ISO 4925 Class 5.1
  • SAE J 1703
  • SAE J 1704

Application:

Liqui Moly DOT 5.1 brake fluid can be used with all conventional brake fluid bleeding devices. Liqui Moly DOT 4 brake fluid is miscible and compatible with all high-quality synthetic brake fluids. The optimal period of use for this brake fluid is, however, only ensured when it is used alone. It is recommended that the brake fluid be changed in accordance with the specifications from the vehicle manufacturer.

Brake Fluid

Brake fluid is essentially hydraulic fluid which meets the standards set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and the Department of Transportation (DOT). There are three main categories of brake fluid: DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5. DOT 3 and 4 are polyglycol based while DOT 5 is synthetic brake fluid. Glycol based fluids are hygroscopic which is a benefit as the fluid absorbs any water which prevents water droplets from forming in the fluid. By absorbing the water, this in turn prevents water from collecting which could either boil, freeze or corrode components. Changing the brake fluid in your vehicle routinely will reduce the chances of boiling brake fluid which could lead to brake fade or loss of brake operation altogether.

Brake Fluid Failure Symptoms
  • High moisture content causing low boiling point
  • Dirty or tarnished color
  • Boiling over of the brake system under extreme braking conditions

About Liqui Moly

All Liqui Moly products are created by close solidarity with the automotive, two-wheel and commercial vehicle industry. That's why Liqui Moly solutions are always on par with state-of-the-art technologies and sometimes even a good distance ahead. The recipes for Liqui Moly high-tech products are largely based on our own developments, that we continuously test and develop. The Liqui Moly full range, with more than 4,000 products, offers you lubricants, additives, car care products and chemical repair tools with integrated use guarantee.

LIQUI MOLY offers the matching motor oil for every vehicle in the world. Liqui Moly engine oils have a variety of approvals by German and overseas car manufacturers or fulfill the requirements of the producers. And, even here, there are still differences: A manufacturer approval means that the oil fulfills certain minimum requirements. But Liqui Moly goes beyond those requirements and develop oils that, for example, have a higher cleaning performance than what is required by the manufacturer.

The fact that Liqui Moly products shine, and, with a high level of innovation, deliver what they promise, is confirmed again and again by independent testing institutions, in which we regularly pass with flying colors. Approvals by the automotive industry and the fulfilling of the highest specifications are also a matter of course.
