(Prior to Dispatch)
Wilwood Hi-Temp 570 Racing Brake Fluid Dot 5.1 12Oz Bottle
Wilwood's Hi-Temp 570 DOT 5.1 Racing Brake Fluid has a dry boiling point of 570 deg F to meet racers' demands lap after lap. The lower viscosity of the DOT 5.1 rated formula allows ABS systems to react faster and makes bleeding brakes easier. Increased resistance to aeration and foaming improve pedal feel and consistency in severe use.
NOTE: DO NOT USE WHERE SILICONE DOT 5 FLUID IS SPECIFIED.
Only use fresh un-opened fluid. Once opened, use immediately. Do not store opened bottles or cans, or reuse old fluid.
Dry Boiling Point
Of critical importance is the brake fluid's dry boiling point - the temperature at which a brake fluid will boil in its virgin non-contaminated state. All Wilwood brake fluids exceed these standards, with Hi-Temp 570 rated at 570deg F, EXP600 Plus rated at 626 deg F, and XR Race-Only at 645 deg F.
Wet Boiling Point
Moisture enters your brake system through condensation, weather, ambient humidity, or washing the exterior. Glycol based brake fluids are hygroscopic (they absorb moisture), and over time the boiling point is gradually reduced. All Wilwood brake fluids exceed these wet boiling standards, with Hi-Temp 570 rated at 313 deg F, EXP600 Plus rated at 417 deg F, and XR Race-Only at 432 deg F.
Flushing
Whenever you add fresh fluid to your existing system, it immediately becomes contaminated, lowering the new fluid's boiling point. For maximum performance, use a high boiling point fluid and flush the system thoroughly. For street cars, flush and refill the fluid every year. For race or track driven cars it can be beneficial to change the fluid after every race weekend, especially after racing in the rain, severe temperature use, or brake fluid boiling.
