yep
Yes you can!
Can this be used in some bicycle hydraulic disc brakes?
Yes, it should say so on the lever cap. My Hopes say "Use only DOT4 or DOT5.1". "Super DOT4" is just a slightly upgraded version of DOT4 so its GTG.
Do these work in Bikes too?
Provided your bike uses Dot 3, Dot 4 or Super Dot 4 then yes.
Just got your oops Penrite ran out of fluid e-mail and here's my suggestion - can you run a little offer where we're able to pay the difference between the Penrite Dot 4's and something like the Motul Dot 4's or the RBF range?
so need mobile # too isn't email is good enough?
Hi xxx,
Firstly, thanks again for registering for our Free Penrite Brake Fluid offer! To say the response has been overwheelming is an understatement! As I write this email we've got just over 8000 bottles to send out, and counting!
Which leads me to the problem we're currently having: We sent out just over 1100 bottles (in first in first out order), but Penrite has no more bottles of the Super Dot 4 left! We have literally bought Penrite Australia out of all their Super Dot 4 Brake Fluid! (A pretty cool effort with think!)
BE PATIENT! We promise everyone will get their bottle! We're currently waiting to hear back from Penrite with expected time frames on further deliveries, and once we do we'll updated everyone on where we're at with getting the bottles out!
We do have about 100ish bottles left in the Brisbane warehouse, but we're saving these for people who are ordering other parts, and need the fluid at the same time to do the complete service in one hit. If this is you, please let us know when ordering!
Also, if you used any sort of fake details (the number of 'Mr Fluid' with the contact number '0400 000 000' that regsitered for the offer was somewhat dissapointing…) then I wouldn't hold your breath! This was a genuine offer that's costing us a an enourmous amount of time and effort (and money!), so if this was you and you'd like to be a part of it, please reply to this email with your correct details! Appreciate your understanding on this matter!
Again, thanks for your patience, and apologies for any inconvience caused. As always, any questions just let us know!
Warm regards,
Greg, Matt, Nathan and the rest of the Brakes Direct Sales Team!The need for a contact number isn't so much for our benefit as it is the courier's. We don't use Australia Post, and it's very difficult to organize re deliveries without a contact number.
Ok so who here is Mr Fluid with contact number 0400 000 000? I thought the name Lu Bricant might have been more appropriate.
Hey guys just got an email u guys might wanna see

Greg, Matt, Nathan and the rest of the Brakes Direct Sales Team!We all got it, mate.
Dupe!
As I said above:
The need for a contact number isn't so much for our benefit as it is the courier's. We don't use Australia Post, and it's very difficult to organize re deliveries without a contact number.It's a legitimate back order! We're not making this up, and yes, we have had a couple of reply emails winging that this was just details scamming. Keep in mind, we didn't post this here, someone who already received the bottle did, and this was never meant to get this big, it's simply a front whilst our proper website gets up and running! Suffice to say anyone who complained about this simply being a contact details scam has got a personal phone call, and a bottle sent out! (Please don't everyone do this…)
Also, I didn't put it in the email (as they wouldn't get it anyway)… but anyone who used a mailinator or similar email address (yes we know them all!), wouldn't hold your breath either! With now over 8000 bottles to send out, we'll start with those that gave us the courtesy of proper details, and deal with the rest later!
If anyone did use one of those spam type alias in boxes, and wants to get on the list, just send us a email to sales at brakesdirect dot com dot au with your name and what ever details you have us, and we'll put in the correct email.
As always, any problems just give us a bell on 1300 724 943.

GregAny update Greg?
Free Penrite Offer Update!
Firstly a quick update on the free Penrite Super Dot 4 brake fluid offer! We've now received over 10,000 requests for the free botte, and although we're commited to getting them all out, it will take time! We're also sending them out by state on pallets from the Brisbane warehouse, so logistically there's quite a bit to do! The picture below with the 3 pallets of bottles packed up ready to go is only about a 1/4 of what needs to be sent out! As we've said in the last couple of emails, if you need one urgently, or are ordering other parts, let us know and we'll send it out straight away!
Hi Greg. I need mine urgently please.
lol I'm not Greg.. I simply copy paste the email I received from them this morning :)
Hehe. I'll still call you Greg. :)
Ok I'm ok with Greg then lol!
They must be spending a fortune on this marketing campaign but at the same time now they have a whole customer base and if we need something for the car in the future it's great to have a trustworthy online shop.
Bit early to say if they are trust worthy. I haven't received anything yet.
True but I doubt they bought 10000 items of penrite… unless it was photoshopped. It would have been easier to say it was whilst stocks last.
Just got an email form the REAL Greg. Is sending one though. So at this stage I will retract my earlier comment.
Just received my brake fluid only 2 days after requesting it via email. Thanks Greg. I will purchased brake pads for the Paj soon.

Greg a question:
Can I use this DOT4 fluid to top up a car with standard fluid without doing a full flush?
Cheers.
