Product details
Description
Johnsen's 7012-6 Silicone DOT-5 Brake Fluid is a premium synthetic formula engineered to deliver high thermal stability and superior corrosion resistance for automotive braking systems. Specially formulated for both drum and disc brakes, this advanced fluid maintains optimal performance and safety under extreme conditions.
It provides an impressive 500°F temperature protection barrier, making it ideal for severe service, heavy-duty applications, and high-performance racing vehicles. Unlike conventional glycol-based fluids, this silicone-based formula is essentially non-hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs less than one percent of moisture over its lifespan to prevent condensation buildup and extend the longevity of vital braking components.
This two-pack configuration ensures you have an ample supply of high-grade hydraulic fluid for complete system flushes or regular maintenance routines.
How to use
- Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for specific fluid replacement procedures.
- Thoroughly clean the master cylinder reservoir cap before removing to prevent dirt contamination.
- Completely drain and flush the old glycol-based fluid if converting the system.
- Fill the reservoir to the level specified by the manufacturer.
- Bleed the brake lines to eliminate any trapped air pockets.
- Close the cap securely and test brake response before operating the vehicle.

FAQs
What is DOT 5 brake fluid used for?
DOT 5 brake fluid is primarily used in high-performance, military, classic, and heavy-duty vehicles that require superior thermal stability. Its silicone-based formula helps prevent moisture absorption and protects critical braking components from internal corrosion during extended storage or severe service conditions.
Is silicone brake fluid better?
Silicone brake fluid is highly beneficial for vehicles that face extreme temperatures or long periods of inactivity because it does not absorb water like conventional glycol fluids. However, it should only be used in systems specifically designed for it, and it must never be mixed with DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 fluids.
Is DOT 5 better than DOT 4?
DOT 5 is not necessarily better, but rather serves a different purpose. While DOT 4 is a glycol-based fluid that absorbs moisture over time and is standard for most modern passenger cars, DOT 5 is silicone-based, has a higher boiling point, and resists water absorption completely.
Is this Johnsen's DOT 5 Brake Fluid authentic and available in India?
Yes, it is fully available for Indian automotive enthusiasts. Dropy India directly sources this product from the USA, ensuring you receive 100% authentic, premium-grade imported automotive fluids for your specialized vehicle maintenance.
Can I use Johnsen's DOT 5 Brake Fluid in a mineral oil system?
No, this silicone-based fluid is strictly formulated for compatible hydraulic brake systems. It is not compatible with mineral oil brake systems, and mixing them can cause seal failure and severe braking issues.
