Nice , Wifey , Thanks … learned a couple things in the article . Looks like that should be what I’ll be using now .
Why the heck did they make 2 completely different fluids with completely different properties and use numbers so similar .. that is asking for a mistake to be made by people .

now the question is has anyone used the 5.1 and notice any better results or had any problems ?

Not sure why they would number them that way! Planned failure?

You may wait a very long time on here for your answer lol

Maybe try a Ford forum

DOT 5 at NAPA is just shy of 50 bucks a quart!! Shopping around can pay off
