While DOT-5.1 was developed decades after ABS was created, it has low-viscosity high-temp performance characteristics that make it suitable for use in ABS systems, it was not created solely for that application. Can be used on all braking-systems requiring high-temp performance that has sufficiently frequent fluid-replacement schedule to offset its higher hygroscopic nature.
