355cc can. DOT 5 does not absorb water and has a boiling point of 260C°. Safe for plastics and painted surfaces. Exceeds DOT 5 and FMVSS 116 specifications. Not compatible with anti-lock brakes due to quicker foaming of DOT5. Note: Do not mix with DOT 3 & 4 brake fluids. Note: Not compatible with ABS brakes or ASR (anti-slip) systems. Tech tip: Something about DOT 5 silicone. If you want to use DOT 5 may be easier to decide with some added knowledge about this type of brake fluid. DOT 5 silicone is non-aggressive for painted surfaces; plastics and has anti-corrosive characteristics; is non-hygroscopic and will therefore not absorb water. Great characteristics for vehicles that are not used much. However; when water accumulates in the brake system over time; and it is not absorbed by the brake fluid; in theory it could create pockets of water which could boil in extreme circumstances. This could result in vapor lock and total brake failure. Since DOT 5 silicone does not absorb water the accumulated water may not fully be removed from the brake system when the brake fluid is changed. DOT 5 silicone may never be mixed with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluids. It is also not compatible with ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) or ASR (Anti Slip Regulation) since it will foam easier. Note that the H-D Motor Company has used DOT 5 up to around 2006; about the time when ABS was introduced...
