[QUOTE="KYHU, post: 149377, member: 23711"] ktmboy : on the master cylinder it's written : use only DOT 3/5. On the manual they say: never use DOT 5 brake fluid because it's silicon-based. They say to use Shell Advance Brake DOT 5.1. But isn't DOT 5.1 silicon-based ? Till now I used AP Racing 600 (for my DH mountain-bike). Not intended for highway use, so it's not categorized by the DOT. But it's maybe the best brake fluid money can buy, that's why I used it. So which oil do you think I sould use ? thanks david Edited to make a correction : actually, DOT 5.1 (also called Super DOT 4) is the designation for recently developped brake fluids, that have evolved from the DOT 4 brake fluid but that have a higer boiling point. (446F for straight DOT 4 and 500F for DOT 5.1 or Super DOT 4) DOT 5.1 brake fluids are not silicon-based. There's an excellent article about brake fluids [URL=http://www.xs11.com/tips/maintenance/maint1.shtml]here[/URL] . [/QUOTE]
