Silicone brake fluid

Postby Jebus » Thu Aug 04, 2005 7:19 pm

Any one got any other info on this stuff, I understand that it doesnt damage paint, and doesnt absorb water so probaly wont need replacing. But how effective is it against standard 5.1 or the likes? Is it fine with a standard brake setup?

Check the 'FAQ' section under brakes and stuff for your answer dude.

in short, don't use it unless you want to replace it every few months
because it doesn't absorb water, as moisture builds up it forms in droplets in the fluid, which will boil at 100 degrees C and fade much faster than even very old mineral based fluid.
