Choosing the right brake fluid isn’t as simple as checking the boiling point. In today’s vehicles, especially those equipped with ABS, ESC, and ADAS, viscosity has become just as important—if not more so. This episode explains how brake fluid viscosity affects system response times, stopping distance, and overall braking performance.
In this episode of Inside the Brands, we take a closer look at Pentosin Super DOT 4, DOT 4 LV, and DOT 5.1 to explain what sets them apart and when each should be used. You’ll also learn why DOT 5.1 isn’t interchangeable with silicone-based DOT 5—and why that distinction matters.
If you work on modern brake systems, this is one you’ll want to watch.
