Description

208 MCP Silicone DOT 5 Brake Fluid – 8 oz. for Racing Applications


The 208 MCP Silicone DOT 5 Brake Fluid is a high-performance, silicone-based fluid engineered for go-karts, racing lawnmowers, and other high-demand small-engine braking systems. Formulated with polydimethylsiloxanes, this fluid delivers consistent viscosity and reliable braking performance under extreme heat and heavy braking—ideal for racing environments.


Unlike traditional brake fluids, DOT 5 is hydrophobic, meaning it does not absorb moisture, helping prevent corrosion and extending the life of your entire brake system. Its stable thermal characteristics reduce the risk of brake fade, vapor lock, and spongy pedal feel, even during aggressive braking on hot tracks.


Important: DOT 5 silicone brake fluid is NOT compatible with DOT 3, DOT 4, or other glycol-based fluids. Do not mix.


Key Features:

  • Type: Silicone-based DOT 5 brake fluid
  • Volume: 8 oz. (fluid ounce) bottle
  • Application: Ideal for go-karts, drift trikes, racing lawnmowers
  • Temperature Resistant: Stable performance under racing conditions
  • Non-Hygroscopic: Won’t absorb water—protects brake components
  • Reduces Brake Fade & Pedal Softness in high-heat braking environments

FAQ

Q1: What makes DOT 5 silicone brake fluid different from DOT 3 or DOT 4?

DOT 5 is a silicone-based brake fluid, unlike DOT 3 and DOT 4, which are glycol-based. DOT 5 is non-hygroscopic, meaning it doesn't absorb moisture, offering better long-term protection against corrosion and brake fade.


Q2: Can I mix DOT 5 with other brake fluids?

No. DOT 5 cannot be mixed with DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 brake fluids. Mixing them can cause brake failure. Always flush the system completely before switching to DOT 5.


Q3: What applications is this brake fluid intended for?

This 8 oz. bottle of MCP DOT 5 silicone brake fluid is perfect for go-karts, racing lawnmowers, drift trikes, and other high-heat small-engine racing setups.


Q4: What are the benefits of using DOT 5 brake fluid in racing?

DOT 5 resists boiling under extreme conditions, helping prevent brake fade and spongy pedal feel. Its non-absorptive properties also protect the braking system from moisture-related corrosion over time.


Q5: Is 8 oz. enough to fill an entire brake system?

For most single-caliper go-karts or small hydraulic systems, 8 oz. is typically sufficient. However, larger or multi-caliper systems may require additional fluid.
