  1. WHYIS BRAKE FLUID IMPORTANT FOR CARS

  2. Introduction Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid that is used in brake systems to aid in the movement of the brake pedal to actuate the brake pads at the wheels thus stopping your vehicle. Brake fluid is also a lubricant and anti-corrosion fluid that helps to make sure that your vehicle's brake system works optimally. Autotechio

  3. What does brake fluid do? Playing a crucial role in the braking process, brake fluid helps transfer the movement and force created when you press down on the brake pedal. Extreme heat is generated when braking. This high heat can cause moisture to condense in the brake hydraulic system. The brake fluid absorbs this moisture and prevents it from boiling and causing brake failure. In addition, the brake fluid serves as a lubricant for all movable parts and prevents corrosion. It must remain fluid in all temperatures. Autotechio

  4. Brake fluid helps transfer the movement and force created when you press down on the brake pedal. Adding brake fluid is usually not part of routine vehicle maintenance. Low brake fluid typically means that your brake pads are worn and will soon need to be changed. If you notice a sudden drop in the brake fluid level, it could indicate a problem with your brake system or that you simply need to change your brakes. Have a mechanic check your brakes. Autotechio

  5. DIFFERENTKINDS OF BRAKE FLUIDS Autotechio

  6. THERE ARE 4 TYPES OF FLUIDS ● DOT 3 ● DOT 4 ● DOT 5 ● DOT 5.1 *DOT 3 and DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 are glycol-based fluids. DOT 5 is silicone-based. The main difference is that DOT 3 and DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 absorb water, while DOT 5 doesn't. Autotechio

  7. What does DOT stand for? The DOT types are numbered (i.e DOT 3, DOT 4 and so forth). Basically, these differ based on the primary substance found in them, boiling point temperature and color. For those who are driving passenger cars, the glycol-based DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluids are advisable. Both DOT 3 and DOT 4 are clear (or slightly amber-colored). DOT 4 has a higher boiling point than DOT 3. Autotechio

  8. DOT 3 Product Description. Mobil Brake Fluid DOT 3 is a high performance hydraulic brake fluid for use in automotive disc, drum and anti-skid brake systems and clutch systems. Autotechio

  9. DOT 4 DOT5 silicone-based fluid that was developed for use where moisture or water was almost certain to be a factor in the braking system, such as military applications. While DOT5 has a higher boiling point (500F dry/356F wet) than DOT3 or DOT4, DOT5 exhibits more compressibility than glycol ether brake fluid Autotechio

  10. BRAKE FLUID MUST BE THE RIGHT VISCOSITY Autotechio

  11. Avoid driving around with contaminated brake fluid by visiting your local car care experts for a free brake inspection, including brake fluid testing! Depending on their findings, our certified technicians may recommend a brake fluid exchange, which involves removing and replacing the brake fluid in your hydraulic braking system. Always consult your owner’s manual for a more exact recommendation on brake fluid services. DOESBRAKE FLUID GO BAD OR NEED TO BE CHANGED? There are a few reasons why your brake fluid loses effectiveness over time. The first is that brake fluid is hygroscopic — a fancy word that means it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Autotechio

  12. SIGNSOF LOW BRAKE FLUID SOFT PEDAL If your brake pedal is “softer” than usual, or sinks toward the floor without much resistance, you may be low on brake fluid. When there is less brake fluid to compress, the pedal becomes “squishy” and requires more force from your foot to properly pressurize. This means your brakes are not operating effectively and should be serviced as soon as possible. OILYPUDDLE UNDER THE CAR If you notice a puddle of liquid forming beneath your car that is slightly oily to the touch, your brake system may be leaking. There are several places brake fluid can leak from, including rubber hoses, around the calipers, and from the master cylinder. Brake fluid leaks should be fixed promptly to ensure your safety. Autotechio

  13. Is brake fluid affected by temperature When it comes to battling cold temperatures, brake fluid is tough. ... Water can then seep into damaged brake lines, which is a big problem since water freezes at 32°F, a much higher temperature than the freezing point of brake fluid Autotechio

  17. Conclusion Now that you know everything you need to know about brake fluid types and how to choose the right brake fluid for your vehicle, you can confidently replace or refill your brake fluid in no time. As long as you use all of the information in this article, you’ll be able to sustain the performance of your vehicle’s brake system without any issues. There are so many options to choose from on the market so don’t just limit yourself to our recommendations. Autotechio
