Can you mix .5 with .4.1?

Image result for are dot 4 and 5 compatible
Since DOT 4 and 5.1 are both glycol-based brake fluids they are compatible with each other, which means they can be readily mixed without harming your brake system. It is important never to mistake DOT 5.1 (glycol-based) with DOT 5 which is silicone-based and should never be mixed with any other DOT fluid.

Just to add there is no dot 4.1. That would be just dot 4

Ta, I'll double check that my unopened bottle is indeed 5.1.

Got to change the hoses on the Barge, and although the fluid on it is clear, it looks decidedly green :-\ so all in all, changing it makes sense :y
