not really necessary for brakes at least... yes DOT5.1 has a higher minimum boiling point than DOT4, but many DOT4 fluids have boiling points that exceed DOT5.1 specs anyways.

 

I run ATE type200 brake fluid in my track beemer, which is DOT4. I've never had any problem with brakes in over 20 trackdays.
