Q. Do I have to use genuine Honda brake fluid?
Your Honda has plenty of get-up-and-go, but you also want to make sure it has plenty of stopping power. You should trade out your brake fluid at least every three years with Honda Genuine Brake Fluid because with lots of use it can become contaminated and lose effectiveness.
Q. Can DOT 5 replace dot 3?
DOT 5 can be used as an upgrade or replacement for both DOT 3 and 4, but should not be mixed with any of the other fluids. This fluid is identical to DOT 5 silicone in both boiling point and viscosity; however, it is compatible in the poly-glycol based systems and anti-lock brakes as well.
Q. Can DOT 5 be mixed?
Since DOT 4 and 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids they are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. It is important never to mistake DOT 5.1 (glycol-based) with DOT 5 which is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other DOT fluid.
Q. Is it OK to mix brake fluid brands?
Brands do not matter. Brake fluid is rather simple in design. Dot 3,4, and 5.1 can all be mixed. The difference is, as the number increases, so does the boiling point of the fluid.
Q. What brake fluid can you mix?
All DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 brake fluids are compatible with each other and with all systems. All polyethylene glycol-based fluids will not harm healthy rubber parts.
Q. What is the fastest way to remove paint from metal?
In fact, an incredibly effective paint remover for metal is boiling water. This technique is best for removing old paint from items like hardware, hinges, knobs, etc, and is likely the fastest, easiest, and cheapest option if done correctly.
Q. Does brake fluid remove paint metal?
Brake fluid can serve as an acceptable alternative to paint stripper for removing paint from small metal or plastic objects. The fluid, left in contact with the model for an extended time period, loosens the paint, breaking down the adhesion between the paint and the model.
