DOT Ratings

Brake fluid is sold in three main formulations, designated by DOT (Department of Transportation) and a number.

DOT 3 and DOT 4 are glycol-based brake fluids. They’re pretty corrosive to start, and they can absorb water from the air, which makes them even more acidic (so keep your master cylinders and extra bottles closed tight). Fresh DOT 3 fluid has a boiling point of 401°F, so it’s fine for daily drivers. DOT 4 boils at 446°F and resists acidification better, so it’s better...

DOT 3 and DOT 4 are glycol-based brake fluids.

Fresh DOT 3 fluid has a boiling point of 401°F, so it’s fine for daily drivers. DOT 4 boils at 446°F and resists acidification better, so it’s better for performance vehicles.

DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone based, and boils at 500°F. It doesn’t absorb moisture, but it can develop foam, so it’s not advised for use with anti-lock braking systems.

Need a brake bleeder kit? Summit carries those too, plus all the other specialty tools you might need for your brake project.

Wilwood EXP 600 Plus Super High-Temp Racing Brake Fluid

Wilwood EXP 600 Plus Super High-Temp racing brake fluid is a highly refined blend developed for extreme performance under the high heat and extreme pressure of professional motorsports. EXP 600 Plus has tested to 626 degrees F with a wet boiling point of 417 degrees F. These numbers far exceed any DOT or SAE specifications. EXP 600 Plus brake fluid has been proven to maintain a firm pedal feel and quick response and it has low-moisture affinities to slow the natural absorption rate of water vapor. For optimum performance, EXP 600 Plus should not be diluted with any other brake fluids; add new fluid to a clean system.
