Quicksilver 8M0128419 DOT 5 Brake Fluid is intended for powersport riders, marine operators, and small-vehicle owners whose braking systems specifically call for DOT 5 silicone fluid. It’s suitable for technicians and DIY mechanics performing top-offs or servicing small brake reservoirs who need a high-boil, corrosion-resistant silicone brake fluid in a convenient 12 oz bottle. If your vehicle requires DOT 3 or DOT 4, choose the correct fluid type instead of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can Quicksilver DOT 5 be mixed with DOT 3 or DOT 4?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. DOT 5 is silicone-based and must not be mixed with DOT 3 or DOT 4; mixing can harm seals and brake performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What size is the Quicksilver DOT 5 bottle?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The product is supplied in a 12 oz (ounce) bottle suitable for top-offs and small-system servicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Quicksilver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48083166199966,"sku":"B07L3JX6XR","price":51.3,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/quicksilver-dot5-front-package.jpg?v=1785827394","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/quicksilver-dot-5-brake-fluid-12-oz-silicone-based-dot5-for-powersports-low-compressibility-high-boil-point","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
