DOT 5.1

Dick and Listers:

I took a look in the garage this weekend concerning DOT 5 vs. 5.1.  DOT 5
is silicone-based and hence synthetic and DOT 5.1 is glycol-based but is
also a synthetic according to the label on the Valvoline SynPower bottle.
Perhaps, like synthetic blend oil vs fully synthetic oil, the DOT5.1 has a
synthetic additive package vs. the fully synthetic base stock silicone DOT
5?  Comments?
