High quality DOT 5.1 brake fluid

Galp Expert Trávia DOT 5.1 is a high-quality synthetic brake fluid developed for use on vehicles with hydraulic brakes and clutch. The brake fluid is made with a unique formula that gives it an incredibly high boiling point, making it an ideal choice for competition and sports driving where heat can build up and conditions can be more extreme than usual. Galp Expert Trávia DOT 5.1 is fully compatible with DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 brake fluids and comes in a handy 250 ml container.

If you’re a competition or sports rider and it’s time to change your brake fluid, the Galp Expert Trávia DOT 5.1 is definitely worth a closer look. The high boiling point of the brake fluid makes it ideal for driving where there’s extra speed and pushing can quickly get below temperatures.

Things to consider when choosing brake fluid

• DOT classification: Always check what your vehicle manufacturer recommends (DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1 (non-silicone) or DOT 5 (silicone-based))
• Boiling point: The higher the boiling point, the better the fluid resists heat and reduces the risk of brake loss (vapour lock).
• Compatibility: DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 (non-silicone) can be mixed, but DOT 5 (silicone) must not be mixed with the others.
• Driving needs: Sports driving often requires fluid with an extra high boiling point, while DOT 3/4 is typically fine for general daily driving.
• Water absorption: Brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs water over time), which lowers the boiling point. Therefore, it should be changed regularly (typically every 2 years).
• Corrosion protection: A good fluid protects the metal parts of the brake system from rust and deposits.
• Container size and seal: Choose a quantity that suits your needs and avoid storing open bottles for too long as the fluid quickly absorbs moisture.
