EBC’s DOT 5 brake fluid is a silicone-based fluid and is therefore not compatible with any brake system using DOT 3, DOT 4 or DOT5.1 glycol-based brake fluid. DOT 5 can only be mixed with other silicone-based DOT 5 brake fluids.
EBC DOT 5 has a very high dry boiling point of 300°C (572°F), and a wet boiling point of 180°C (356°F).
DOT 5 differs from glycol-based fluids in that it does not absorb moisture from the atmosphere, which gives it its high performance. However, DOT 5 fluid is unsuitable for vehicles fitted with ABS, so its use is restricted almost entirely to classic cars. If in any doubt, consult your vehicle’s handbook.
You can rest assured of the quality of EBC brake fluids, which carry an extensive range of approvals including ECE, DOT, TUV, and SAE and are manufactured in an ISO9001-accredited factory in the United Kingdom.
