I used to use a Bosch 5.1 but my friends with track cars prefer the Motul...
I thought Dot 5 fluids were silicon. But here we have Motul non-silicon Dot 5.1 that can't be mixed with Dot 5. Apparently its properties exceed those of Dot 3 and Dot 4.

Thanks for the tip, because I am getting ready to 100% bleed my brakes, even though it's only been 10-15 years.

And, now for something completely confusing...
