You must remember that 5.1 will absorb moisture faster and make him have to bleed his system much more frequently than with a DOT 3 or 4.

and some high performance dot 4 can exceed the specs for 5.1, but not any available at big retail stores

I'd order ATE super Blue from Race roots. They have it for sale at like 20 bucks.

funny thing is it says its more moisture resistant than dot 3 or 4 i think they mean it has a higher boiling point
