It features a higher boiling point than DOT 3 and 4 fluids, ensuring superior performance and safety under extreme braking conditions. Packaged in a vacuum-sealed 4oz bottle to maintain purity, it is compatible with all SRAM and Avid hydraulic disc brakes, making it the go-to choice for professional-grade brake maintenance. ## Description Product description SRAM 5.1 DOT Hydraulic Brake Fluid An essential part of your hydraulic braking system. Used to transfer lever braking force into pressure, amplifying braking force. Our DOT 5.1 Fluid meets the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Department of Transportation's strict standards. It allows the braking system to resist the high temperatures that are created when you brake, absorbing possible stress on the braking system. Long life span means fewer fluid changes, and that means more time on the trail! Anytime you shorten your brake hoses or if you want to keep your SRAM or Avid disc brakes performing at their best, we'd recommend bleeding the brakes once a year with the PitStop 5. 1 DOT Hydraulic Brake Fluid. This brake fluid is the OEM replacement DOT-5. 1 fluid in a non-silicone formula that comes stock on SRAM and Avid hydraulic disc brakes. DOT 5. 1 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3 and 4 fluids so you'll achieve the most consistent performance on long descents that can often plague hydraulic discs. The package is vacuum sealed to prevent water absorption that lowers the boiling point of the fluid. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS Brake Fluid Type: DOT 5.1 Bottle Size (Brake Fluid): 4 oz (120mL) Application (Brake Fluid): Disc Brakes PRODUCT FEATURES DOT 5.1 brake fluid is compatible with all SRAM and Avid hydraulic disc brakes.

The main difference is boiling point between the two but I’ve always been of the mindset that you can’t mix them. Both are glycol based but I still wouldn’t mix, I’ve had problems with lines swelling internally in the past and couldn’t say that it wasn’t from the inadvertent mixing. **Q: How many ounces does the brake system hold? I want to do a full fluid exchange, will this be enough for the front and back brakes?** A: Yes , plenty. I added all new brake lines and bleed and still had half left. **Q: can you use mineral oil in sram guide re breaks?** A: My SRAM guide RSC brakes require DOT 5.1 brake fluid only. I would assume your brakes are the same but Google search for the service manual and it will tell you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works *by S***Y on December 26, 2025* It works, I need it to bleed the sram brake.

I like my SRAM Code RSC brakes exactly the way they performed when new. They came with SRAM fluid and performed flawlessly, so it’s SRAM fluid that I trust for preventative maintenance.
