DOT 5.1. is OK though...

DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 are glycol-based.

It's a bit confusing...

DOT 5 is silicone-based and will NOT mix with the others - it can result in blocked brake systems.
EXACTLY!!!

It is critical that folks considering a synthetic brake fluid in our ABS brake system equipped vehicles use DOT 5.1
