If you've gone under the hood of a lot of late-model cars, you may have noticed something missing: the dipstick. Why do so many new cars lack them?

    DOT 5.1 to significantly increase that wet boiling point, but it’s expensive for normal car use

    Huh? In here you can get DOT5.1 for the same price than DOT4. Roughly 10€ per litre, depending on brand and how big bottle you get.

      Not where I am; DOT 5.1 costs 2-3 times as much as DOT 5 locally.

      DOT 4, $.375/oz.

      DOT 5.1, $1.42/oz.

      It’s 3.8x more expensive to buy DOT 5.1 locally.
