Description

Martin Custom Products Silicone DOT 5 Brake Fluid – 4oz


Engineered for high-performance karting, mini bikes, and mower racing, Martin Custom Products Silicone DOT 5 Brake Fluid delivers reliable stopping power under extreme conditions.


Formulated with polydimethylsiloxanes, this premium silicone-based brake fluid maintains a stable viscosity index across a wide temperature range—ideal for racing environments where hard braking and high heat are the norm. Whether you're pushing your kart on a tight track or racing a modified mower, DOT 5 ensures consistent brake feel, reduced fade, and extended brake system life.


Unlike glycol-based fluids, DOT 5 is hydrophobic, meaning it repels moisture and won’t absorb water. This eliminates the risk of moisture contamination that can cause corrosion, fluid breakdown, or a spongy pedal feel. Do not mix with water or other DOT-rated brake fluids, especially DOT 3, 4, or 5.1, as they are not compatible.


Key Features:

  • Racing-Grade Formula: Designed for karting, mini bikes, and racing mowers
  • Silicone-Based (Polydimethylsiloxane): Maintains stability in extreme heat
  • Fade Resistance: Helps prevent brake fade during aggressive braking
  • Hydrophobic: Does not absorb water or moisture from the air
  • Non-Mixing Compatibility: Must not be mixed with other DOT fluids
  • Convenient 4oz Bottle: Perfect for race day top-offs or full system flushes

Get the edge on your competition with Martin Custom Products DOT 5 Brake Fluid—reliable, high-performance braking where it counts.

FAQ

Q1: What makes DOT 5 silicone brake fluid better for racing?

A: DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone-based, offering excellent thermal stability and resistance to brake fade. It performs consistently in high-heat, high-stress racing conditions and doesn't absorb moisture like other fluids.


Q2: Can I mix DOT 5 with DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 fluids?

A: No. DOT 5 is not compatible with DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 fluids. Mixing them can cause serious brake system issues. Always flush your system completely when switching to DOT 5.


Q3: Is DOT 5 brake fluid suitable for everyday vehicles?

A: DOT 5 is primarily designed for performance and racing applications. It’s not recommended for ABS-equipped vehicles or general street use unless specifically approved.


Q4: How much brake fluid do I need for a kart or mini bike?

A: A 4oz bottle is typically sufficient for a full fluid change in most go-kart or mini bike brake systems. Always check your system’s capacity before use.


Q5: Why does hydrophobic brake fluid matter?

A: Hydrophobic (moisture-repelling) fluids like DOT 5 prevent water contamination, which can cause brake fade and corrosion in traditional glycol-based fluids.
