I think you're referring to 'DoT5.1' I also think it was deliberately named so as to confuse the issue.<br>

Also everyone is speaking of DOT5 but there are now two different DOT5s. The first is the older silicone based DOT5. There is a newer Glycol Ester DOT5 that is compatible with DOT3 and DOT4. It has a lower viscosity than the DOT3 and DOT4 so it works better
in some ABS systems. It also has a higher boiling point than DOT3 and DOT4. Don't see an advantage in Healeys.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The best selling point for Dot 4 is you can mix any Dot 4 or even Dot 3 if you need to fill up. As I understand it with Dot 5 you should be careful to always use the same brand to fill up if necessary.<br>
<br>
Also, neither Dot 5 not Dot 4 is great for sitting a long time, Dot 4 absorbs water, Dot 5 will push any water down into the components.<br>
<br>
Dot 4, if the car is not used regularly, needs to be flushed every couple of years.<br>

<p>At this point in the restoration I have a completely rebuilt brake system with all new components and tubing. Now is the time to make the decision to use DOT 4 or Silicone. What's the consensus, if there is one?</p>
