Question

I ordered some dot 5.1 brake fluid from Scoobymania and was sent Delphi Lockheed DOT 5.1 'non silicon based' stuff.
On reading the bumf on the back it says "change brake fluid once a year". Is this suitable for my standard brakes car as I understand the brake fluid is only changed every 2 years according to the service schedule? I emailed Mike at Scoobymania but didn't get a reply. Cheers.

I've used that fluid, and I do recommend all of you to change your brake fluid once a year (if you're a frequent track day driver, do it more often) - it'll make quite a difference on feel, and boiling points (which directly translates into just how much abuse they can take).
