I was wondering if this would be ok, and is any dot 5.1 fluid ok for this brake?

    yes, will be fine
    Everything in moderation ... except beer
    Beer in moderation ... is a waste of beer

    If riding an XC race bike is like touching the trail,
    then riding a rigid singlespeed is like licking it
    ... or being punched by it, depending on the day

    Its fine but you'll probably get it cheaper from a motor factors.

    a point worth remembering - once opened it will degrade, so if you're not planning on bleeding your brakes for another year then you 'll end up binning what's left and buying some more.
