Can I use this with DOT5.1 brake liquid?

Yes, you can use it with DOT 5.1 brake fluid, since this one is similar do DOT 4 and DOT 3 in composition. But, I am not so sure if the meter is suitable to DOT 5 (silicon based) brake fluid.

Yes. I used it in all parts when reforming my front brakes and it works perfectly. Really great grease because it's compliant with rubber boots.

No, the limited slip additive is not recommended for outdrives. Here is a thread on that topic:http://forums.iboats.com/non-repair-i-o-inboards/volvo-penta-synthetic-gl-5-75w-90-gear-oil-597938.html

Nothing on the packaging states either way about it's interaction with liquids - gasoline nor anything else. As a guess, I think it wouldn't hold up. The original JB Weld glue might though; it's kind of like the gray liquid nails and can even be used on engine blocks.

I don't see why not. It's made to suck fluid through a tube. It doesn't create a real powerful vacuum, so it might take some time. Something to consider is that when bleeding brakes, you're usually working with gravity. With diesel fuel lines, you're likely working against.

I have no idea I've only used it with racing fuel that had water in it. Oil is lighter than water so my guess would be yes, but I cannot say for sure. The manufacturer has a web site you could contact them and ask.

Yes, does a great job of bleeding your brakes. I also completely replaced the brake fluid in my Audi A4.

I concur with John P. Vacuum is best to ensure a good bleed because you'll be able to see the air bubbles and aerated fluid before clear brake fluid arrives.

It SAYS it's "calibrated for DOT 4 fluid only." You can still use it on DOT 3, but might want to cross check with test strips or a refractometer.

I used it with high viscosity oil. Not sure if there would be a spark concern.

I don't know, haven't used it that way. It is like any other liquid cleaner. I only use it with the bona blue pad.

Most of the time, it is acceptable to mix one DOT 4 fluid with another. This, though, should be done only at need and is not generally a good practice. In this case, I would not do it at all. Type 200 is a normal viscosity DOT 4 brake fluid while SL.6 is a low viscosity brake fluid. Some manufacturer's require a low viscosity fluid and in some cars, the ABS system may perform better with a lower viscosity fluid. I would not recommend mixing two different viscosities together. You would be better off running 2 liters of SL.6 through your system which will effectively purge out the Type 200 and ensure fresh, air bubble free fluid in your braking system if switching to a low viscosity fluid is your plan.

This is a very heavy duty lubricant. It has modifiers to prevent metal to metal contact, especially during racing applications or off road. I go 30K miles before a change. But this is a totally synthetic fluid and it could go up to 75K in an axle.(more frequent if running through deep water!) I use this in the transmission of my Harley and it quiets everything down, easier shifting. A friend that drag races Harley's turned me on to this some years ago. Not sure if this lubricant can handle posi-traction units. It may be too slippery(read, no friction additives for the clutches) Always refer to your owners manual for the proper viscosity fluid. My 2013 Ford uses trans fluid in both axles and transfer case. Go to Red Line's website for further technical specifications. Good luck.

dot 5 fluid is a silicone fluid, it should also be purple, cannot be checked with this tester as it is also not needed. check you should have dot 4 or dot 3 fluid, make sure you just touch the tips and not immerse plastic portion

I don't see why not....it's a liquid. Having said that, I would suggest you contact the manufacturer for their thoughts on this.

No. Brake fluid is placed in the pump-up pressurized bottle and delivered to the master cylinder reservoir under pressure. As long as there is fluid in the bottle your reservoir remains full. Instructions are included for disconnecting in a manner that leaves the master cylinder level exactly where you want it upon completion. I use a little less than a quart of fluid to fully flush my car's system.

BE CAREFUL. This fluid is for inside your manual transmission, not the clutch resivour which requires dot3. For the clutch use dot3 which is a brake fluid!
