I have been working on my vehicles since 1970. I'm not a professional mechanic but I know a lot about most systems on modern engines, transmissions, etc. I just subscribed to Scotty because I just learned about DOT 5.1 brake fluid. Thank you Scotty!

@CrazyPetez 5 лет назад

I’m glad you told the truth about DOT 5 brake fluid. Many guys with older cars that aren’t driven daily swear DOT 5 is the only way to go. Because it doesn’t mix readily with water, if/when water gets into the system, it can collect at a low point, like a caliper. That water will, over time, cause corrosion.

Hey Scotty, just got my first car a few days ago and, I’d like to thank you for so much knowledge you have passed on to so many of us that are not car savvy, that first car video you made really saved me from falling into a money pit! My father and, I really enjoy watching your videos together, keep em coming!

@arthursmith643 4 года назад

In Scotty we trust. I love having all this information about cars. I’m not a mechanic but want to know about cars. I can’t tell how many hours I have watched Scotty.

@001Andrew100 6 лет назад

My favourite brake fluid is made by a brand called Bendix, its dyed blue so its super easy when you're doing fluid changes because you can literally see the fluid change colour to blue so you know its the fresh stuff, also good for figuring out exactly where leaks are coming from

@devangunaseelan 6 лет назад

101 lesson on brake fluids. Thanks Scotty.

@MrWilliam.Stewart 6 лет назад

Always love Scotty videos. I reckon Scotty is a DOT6 myself.

@Doonit_hard_way_since_65 6 лет назад

I have flushed, and switched my older vehicles to DOT5. Silicone really preserves the system in rarely driven vehicles. But Scotty is correct, it does not work in "most" ABS systems, it is slippery, heavier viscosity, and slightly compressible.

@ddd228 6 лет назад

It's VERY difficult to flush out the DOT 3 or 4.

@Doonit_hard_way_since_65 6 лет назад

Not really. denatured alc. dry air, and even a modicum of attention to detail. Anyone that finds it hard to do should have their hood welded shut, and stay away from tools.

@billthompson5644 6 лет назад

Scotty Kilmer your explanations are always thorough. That's one main reason we all love your videos.

@Eric-kq3nv 6 лет назад

@davidcollis4758 6 лет назад

I have DOT 5 in my 79 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham and my 68 Olds Cutlass. I replaced the complete brake systems on both cars. I have had no problems.

@HoosierDaddy_ 6 лет назад

My brake fluid boiled once. Foot went straight to the floor coming down from about 80mph quickly in my 300zx turbo. Learned to flush it out every couple of years and use good fluid from that point on since brake fluid absorbs water like a sponge. Got close to death that day!

@luisloks 6 лет назад

well thats what you get for riding like an ass. Brake should never reach that level on normal driving. it seems you were going full douche on the highway switching lanes like crazy.

@HoosierDaddy_ 6 лет назад

il Lock + no. Actually I was on a racetrack. I'm a driving instructor also. The brake fluid was contaminated with water. good try trolling and being a miserable human being though. Do you have anything constructive to add to any car related issues or do you just assume everyone drives like you. And I know you are that aggressive driver. Everyone who bitches about them is.

@frankhoward7645 6 лет назад

Brad. I've always subscribed to the theory that DOT 3 is fine for the street and DOT 4 is for the race track. I understand that your fluid was contaminated with water and that led to the failure, but tell me what you were using, DOT 3 or DOT 4?

@HoosierDaddy_ 6 лет назад

Jess John + not at all. They sell test strips to see how much moisture is in there. Will use them on every car in the shop. And it's so cheap, we just usually throw it in as part of a 2-year or 30000 mile service. If it's fine, leave it alone.

@HoosierDaddy_ 6 лет назад

Frank Howard + this was many many years ago. When I was 16. I failed to properly change all the fluids before I had a fun track day so I paid the price. Back then it was most likely. 3. This would have been in the early 90s. It was terrible and I should have known better. And I agree with you on that 3 and 4 I just use what the car calls for. You can never go wrong. Just make sure it's not full of water. That cap is left off for 5 minutes it seems like it absorbs it like a sponge.

@frederickw1655 6 лет назад

A friend of mine was trying to clean up brake fluid after a wheel cylinder failed. He was using gas which would not work. I told him its not a petroleum based, that brake fluid is water soluble just hose it off. Well after another 1/2 hr, he finally did and it worked. Being an engineer he can't stand being wrong, but after a while he admitted he didn't understand. when I told him it was glycol based he just stared at me. It's one of the reasons brake systems need to be flushed every brake job. Yes I know hardly anyone dose that, but they should.

@electronicsNmore 6 лет назад

DOT 3 should be just fine for most "normal" drivers. If you do a lot of excessive or hard braking, then definitely use DOT 4 - 5.1.

@Sseltraeh89 6 лет назад

Yeah, but you know what they say - better safe than sorry. I don't know how are the prices in US, but here where i'm from, Dot 3 isn't really any cheaper than Dot 4, so while Dot 5.1 is still considered expensive premium fluid, there's no need to run Dot 3 anymore, not even on old Pre-Dot 4 cars. You never know when you happen to drive down steep hill with lot of braking involved and you certainly don't want to risk boiling your fluid and loosing brakes just to spare some 2% on retail price...

@MrCROBosanceros 6 лет назад

You are 100% correct!

@Capo-.- 6 лет назад

I'd say unless you're doing a lot of downhill/mountain driving or you're one of those people that like to drive with 2 feet in an automatic vehicle then 5.1 is completely unnecessary in a daily driver.

@lordleonusa 6 лет назад

I have been using DOT 5 in my 1971 Triumph since 1997, when the entire brake system was replaced. It does not damage paint, and works just fine, as such an old car does not have ABS.

@Krunkitty 6 лет назад

To be honest, I don't even watch scotty for the topic of cars, I watch it for Mr.Kilmer himself. I had car issues a month ago, which lead me to finding Scotty, and i've been watching ever since. Just an all round, entertaining, and driven guy.

@harryl7946 6 лет назад

Clean and not offensively designed comment here! Love your knowledge Scotty! Using it each and everyday now. DOT5.1 sounds great but I am sticking with DOT4 since I drive like Miss Daisy anyway. 🤣

@MrCROBosanceros 6 лет назад

I use DOT5.1 brake fluid. I found out from my research of brake fluids that DOT4 or DOT3,brake fluids are better for braking during cold weather in winter season.Yes,I actually read lots of stuff about car fluids before any purchase.

@Buuboi214 6 лет назад

@djentyman4002 6 лет назад

Buuboi214 I like chrisfix as well. I’m subscribed to him but I look at experience with being the best. Scotty has done it for 50 years or more. Chris is probably 25 years old? I’m not saying chrisfix is bad though. He’s one hell of a mechanic

@thestudent839 6 лет назад

I choose Scotty.

@harryl7946 6 лет назад

ChrisFix is more into upgrades but he has some repair techniques that show almost every step in the process. I sub to both. And why not, 🤔knowledge is where you find it. 😃

@djentyman4002 6 лет назад

christopher bougher no reason for name calling here. I literally defended both Chris and Scotty. Scotty has longer experience working with cars which is why I said he’s the best on RU-vid. But Chris is also good and knows what he’s talking about

@videomaniac108 5 лет назад

I used to own a Porsche that I used to drive pretty fast at times and would sometimes boil the brake fluid in my front wheels, necessitating that I bleed them to get the air bubbles out. This was even with the highest quality DOT 4 fluid I could find so I did a little research and found a slightly expensive German fluid called ATE Super Blue Type 200. This stuff had a minimum dry boiling point of 536 degrees F and worked great in my car, no more having to bleed the brakes. There was a companion fluid that was identical but was amber-colored that I used when I flushed my brake system, usually once per year. The different colored fluid made it easy to see when I had flushed out the old fluid. Unfortunately, the government has banned the use of Super Blue in this country.

@andreasandriopoulos9330 6 лет назад

For classic cars I believe it is better to use DOT 5 Silicon. I have used it on my TRIUMPH SPITFIRE MK3 1970. In addition I could not resist the temptation and i used it on my SKODA YETI 1.8 (4X4) MODEL 2012 equipped with ABS for 4 years now and I do not have a problem.

@cardadbods2007 6 лет назад

This was a very interesting video I never knew about DOT 5.1

@chbrules 6 лет назад

I use DOT 4 for my track car with race brakes on them. Never had a problem with brake fade decelerating from ~140mph+. I wouldn't bother with 5.1 considering the price and that I change the fluid numerous times a year on the track car. Too expensive for no gain. I suppose in endurance applications it would be useful.

@FirstnameLastname-ni9uh 6 лет назад

chbrules what car do you have

@alelokox88 6 лет назад

If you change the fluid regularly you actually don't need 5.1. The only gain is if you let it in the car like 4 years instead of 1 or 2 with DOT4 in a regular dd car

@MrTheHillfolk 6 лет назад

chbrules Sounds great for the summer car that sits for half the year though.

@slasher9883 6 лет назад

An added bonus of Dot 5 is it doesn’t eat paint like the glycol based fluids. Classic car dudes love Dot 5, but as Scotty says it doesn’t play well with other types of fluid, so it can only be used in a system with brand new seals.

@FireLikeIYA 6 лет назад

Higher DOT brake fluid absorbs moisture more rapidly giving it a shorter life but higher DOT also has a higher wet boiling point requirement so it's a catch 22. Fluid with higher boiling points are also more likely to leak past seals. For a daily driver it's really about balancing longevity with performance. Always look for wet temp on the bottle. Stay away from racing formulations as they are designed for frequent fluid changes... Except for Castrol SRF but that will cost you way more than it's worth for a daily driver.

Sillicon and sillicone are very different

@scottykilmer 6 лет назад

yes but silicon is used to make silicone, that's why I showed silicon when I was talking about silicone

@gulfsurfco 6 лет назад

"Silicones are polymers which include any inert, synthetic compound made up of repeating units of siloxane - a repeating chain of silicon and oxygen; so silicones contain silicon." Correct! Love your videos, Scotty!

scotty kilmer love watching your videos .hey i also watch re-runs and never get tired of your show

@budweiser93 6 лет назад

They should have named DOT 5.1 as DOT6, to avoid confusion with DOT5, since the two are incompatible and unrelated. Harleys were using DOT5 exclusively for the last 30 years, until the lack of compatibility with ABS became a problem on newer models. Before that a lot of Custom build Hot-Rods used it as well. Excellent for low mileage cars that see lots of storage. Not only does DOT5 not take on moisture, it does not hurt paint finishes, with accidental spills, unlike all the others. An important benefit for expensive paint jobs on motorcycles. Scotty never mentioned that. But, good video.

@Doonit_hard_way_since_65 6 лет назад

That would not have bee possible. Dot 6 would be 315deg boiling point (aprox). The DOT number has more to do with boiling point than anything else. Since silicone dot 5 and glycol 5.1 are using the same min boiling point, they both get a dot 5. Confusing, yes, but what do you expect for a gov't standard?

Scotty, the quality and information in your videos has evolved into something really great. People actually want to watch these videos. Congrats on staying relevant and producing this great content.
