What does the SRAM 5.1 DOT Hydraulic Brake Fluid do for your brakes?

SRAM 5.1 DOT Hydraulic Brake Fluid is the correct fluid for all current SRAM DOT-based hydraulic disc brake systems, including Level, Guide, G2, and Code series brakes. DOT 5.1 has a dry boiling point of 260 degrees C, which is higher than DOT 4's 230 degrees C and provides better resistance to brake fade under sustained heavy use. The 4oz bottle provides enough fluid for a full system bleed on most brake setups.

Using the correct brake fluid is critical for brake performance and safety. SRAM DOT brake systems are designed specifically for DOT 5.1 or DOT 4 fluid. Never use mineral oil in a DOT system, as cross-contamination causes internal hose swelling and brake failure. Always use fresh fluid for best results.

FAQ

Is DOT 5.1 the correct fluid for my SRAM brakes?: Yes. SRAM hydraulic disc brakes specify DOT 5.1 fluid. Do not use mineral oil in a SRAM DOT system, as it is chemically incompatible with DOT brake system seals and will cause seal failure.

Can I mix DOT 5.1 with DOT 4 or DOT 3?: DOT 5.1 is fully backward compatible with DOT 4 and DOT 3 systems. Never mix DOT 5 (silicone-based) with 5.1 or any other DOT fluid, as they are chemically incompatible and will cause seal damage.

How often should I bleed my SRAM brakes?: SRAM recommends a full bleed every year or every 2,000 miles, whichever comes first. DOT fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture), which lowers its boiling point over time. More frequent bleeding may be needed in wet conditions or with heavy brake use.

Best For

Mechanics and home wrenchers servicing any SRAM DOT hydraulic disc brake system (road or MTB) who need fresh DOT 5.1 fluid for bleeding or topping off.
