Purple color.

Non-aggressive to paint.

Not compatible with anti-lock brakes due to rapid foaming.

It does not absorb water.

Do not mix with other brake fluids.

Tech Tip: If you want to use DOT 5, you may find it easier to decide if it's right for you with a little knowledge about this type of brake fluid.

DOT 5 silicone is non-aggressive on painted surfaces or plastics, and has anti-corrosive properties.

It is not hygroscopic, so it does not absorb water.

Excellent features for lightly used vehicles.

However, when water accumulates in the brake system over time and is not absorbed by the brake fluid, it could theoretically create pockets of water that could boil under extreme circumstances.

This could lead to vapor lock and total brake failure.

Since DOT 5 silicone does not absorb water, accumulated water may not be completely removed from the brake system when changing the brake fluid.

DOT 5 silicone should never be mixed with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluids.

It is also not compatible with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) or ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation), as it foams more easily.

Please note that HD Motor Company used DOT 5 until approximately 2006, around the time ABS was introduced...

Compatible with: > Softail, Dyna, V-Rod through 2005, FLT/Touring through 2004, XL through 2006
