Gainzy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 On the brake fluid cap on my glanza it says use only dot3 fluid so why are some people using 5.1? O bought 5.1 but unsure weather it's safe to use! Quote
Nick85 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 It's fine mate but you need to completely empty the system then fill it up with 5.1. Basically Dot 3 is the minimum fluid to use. Quote

Jamie5414 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 May as well use DOT4, That can handle higher temperature if you have uprated brakes too. Motul 600rbf Quote
daniel_g Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Toyota dot 5.1 is pretty decent. I have about 40'000 bottles of Mintex dot 4 which i 'get free' from work, which is just as good as the Toyota stuff tbh. Quote
daniel_g Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Daniel you serious? That's a lot lot lot.Not quite 40'000 no.. Quote
